With so many dating terms these days, you might be wondering– what’s the difference between a booty call, a friend with benefits, long term relationships, or a fling? According to Psychology Today, friends with benefits scenarios might be best of all. Via PT:

Between committed relationships and casual flings stands a kind of sexual relationship that’s a cross between long-term commitment and short-term “no strings attached.” This is the friends-with-benefits relationship, or FWB for short. Couples who are FWBs enjoy an ongoing relationship with their partner, whom they enjoy spending time with, whether sexual or social, but they avoid romantic entanglement with each other. In other words, they’re friends who just happen to also enjoy having sex together, but they don’t think of themselves as being in love with each other.

In a recent study, social scientist Lisa van Raalte and her colleagues surveyed over 100 college students in FWB relationships.

Nearly 80 percent of the respondents indicated that they had discussed the rules of the relationship with their partner. This finding alone is remarkable in that other research has shown romantic couples are much less likely to have open conversations about the rules of their relationship.

So, maybe FWB relationships are a healthy, emotionally stable form of a casual relationship. Start right at OnlineBootyCall.com and meet a sexy local single to be YOUR friend with benefits today!
