I see what SabrinaFair is getting at and agree with the terminology and mostly to the attitude.
When I think fuck buddy, I think someone who is there just for booty calls and not really spending time with.
Friends with benefits being someone who I can hang out with and bang as well. (hehe... hang and bang)
I am currently in something close to a FWB scenario and it seems to be working out pretty well. We both know that this is not something permanent but we also enjoy each other's company. I can go to her place and spend the night, not even necessarily get any, and still have fun. But we also have great sex.
I have never been in a fuck buddies scenario... and imagine it would be a little more difficult to arrange but still distinctly different from FWB.
...my approach
