The most common feature among adult sex hookup sites today is the free app. This is used to lure potential members to the site by allowing them to use the app while on the website. However, in order to use the free app, one must create a profile that will contain accurate information about themselves. In addition, these fake accounts are used to test the compatibility of a potential partner.

1. Emotional Support
A FWB’s main role is to be a friend and a friend’s main role is to be supportive emotionally. FWBs can cry on each other’s shoulders, share a good laugh over drinks, or enjoy pillow-talk late into the night.

2. Sex
Of course, Friends with Benefits benefit sexually. You can say goodbye to the blues, because your Friend with Benefits will be there to please you as sure as you please him or her. 

3. Honesty 
Friends with benefits know that the connection is not a love relationship. This is understood by both parties and results in a totally honest friendship free of emotional baggage. 

4. No Strings Attached
Because of the honesty between two FWBs, this is an NSA – a no strings attached relationship. Neither party has to feel pressured into being more than a friend, nor into saying ILY… unless they mean it.  

5. Trust
Friendships are based on trust. The relationship is about support and honesty and sharing scars – whether physical or emotional. If a person feels insecure about his or her body, a friend with benefits can soothe the feelings of anxiety. Such a trusting relationship can help a friend overcome personal, physical obstacles and blossom into an independent person. 

6. Date Other People
Due to the basic tenet of honesty between two FWBs, both can honestly date other people without jealousy interfering in the friendship. This works out especially well if both sides of the relationship are seeing other people but aren’t ready to commit physically to a new romantic interest. 

7. Advice
While pillow talk might not focus on Friends with Benefits’ future plans together, it can amount to navigating confusing relationships with other people. FWBs can provide insight into the psychology of the opposite sex – and because of the trust and honesty that keeps the relationship afloat, these conversations can be held without inciting jealousy. 

8. Convenience 
A FWB relationship is convenient. At all hours of the night and day, you can call your friend without fear of seeming too needy, and without games, protracted flirtation, or false charades. 

9. Mutual Satisfaction
Real friends want to see their friends happy. Unlike during a hookup with a random romantic or a one-night stand, this kind of mutual respect yields mutual sexual satisfaction. 

10. Real Romance
Finally, while friends with benefits tend to remain just friends until both parties go their separate ways with new significant others, there is the chance that real romance might arise between the two people. A FWB relationship is built upon trust, honesty, and respect, after all – all that’s missing is a romantic spark.
