What happens when friendship and intimacy collide? In this episode of Gay Men Going Deeper, we’re exploring the nuanced dynamics of friends with benefits (FWB) and friends with intimacy (FWI). But what happens when emotions sneak in, boundaries blur, or feelings start to change?

We’ll discuss:

  • Defining FWB vs. FWI: What they mean, how they’re different from dating or hookups, and what these relationships can look like.
  • Boundaries: Essential skills like self-awareness, clear communication, and regular check-ins to keep things respectful and drama-free.
  • The pros and cons: Why FWB might work for some and not for others, depending on emotional needs, communication skills, and personal priorities.

As always, we’ll be sharing our personal experiences—yes, even the times it didn’t go as planned. Whether you're navigating an FWB situation or just curious about relational dynamics, this episode offers valuable insights to help you build connection structures that work for you.
