What is fwb vs hookup?

FWB (friends with benefits) and hookup are two types of casual sexual relationships.

FWB involves two people who are friends and engage in sexual activities without any emotional attachment or commitment. They may hang out together, go on dates, or chat about their life, but they only have a sexual relationship without any romantic feelings.

On the other hand, a hookup is a one-time sexual encounter between two people who don't have any emotional or social ties. The two people may meet at a party, online, or in a bar, and they engage in sexual activities for pleasure without any expectations of continuing the relationship.

Overall, FWB is a more relaxed and comfortable arrangement than a hookup because of the existing friendship and familiarity between the partners. In contrast, a hookup can be more exciting and thrilling given the anonymity of the partners and the temporary nature of the relationship.
