Traveling with FWBs

  I had a fabulous holiday last year with two fwbs (package deal on fwbs lol). We knew each other fairly well and had spent quite a lot of extended weekends together so it was not that hard to plan and be upfront as to what we wanted to do -or not do - on the holiday. We holidayed inland on a lake, so fishing was a big hit, and the local wineries were also popular. A couple of us were pretty tired going into the holiday, so there was complete agreement that down time was a must, whether it be sleeping, reading, shagging..... well whatever anyone wanted to do was just fine. We had another fwb join us for 4 nights of the holiday, that added another dimension and a belly full of laughs...and a lot of empties. 😉 I would totally do it all again, and with the same people. Hmm... might send some texts and see where we're off too this time! Suggestions...I think my biggest one is allowing each other some time out and space is a must. We had a two bedroom apartment with a big balcony, so there was plenty of space for people to retreat to if they wanted to chill out. You don't have to do every activity together, so make some separate plans and some together plans.

  As long as you don't have them in a guitar case or something, then it should be fine right?? You're friends with benefits......not acquaintances that fuck and don't talk :)

  Went to Queensland with a gorgeous group of friends for the meet and greet in 2015! I spent most of my time with one friend and it was a first for me (and him) and I had an amazing time. It was the first time I had stayed in a hotel over a number of days with someone other than my husband! I was cognisant of ensuring he had time to himself, or time to be with others but it was fantastic. This year I went to Thailand with his wife :) I couldn't think of anyone I'd love to travel with more! She is just a wonderful person to be around, we share similar interests and are respectful of each other. I travel to Queensland to catch up with some beautiful friends. I'm lucky that I get to spend time with an amazingly sexy man and catch up with his very beautiful wife too! He and I do spend a fair bit of time doing some fun, kinky, naughty stuff but I am again cognisant that I don't detract too much of their time as a couple too, when I'm visiting :) I'd say I'm very lucky! My experiences have been wonderful :) Mary xx

  Ah! OP, your thread brings back many happy memories of an ex FWB whom I travelled with a lot! :D We got on really well and he loved my sense of humour, and I his. So when we decided to be FWB, the happy soul thought to celebrate it with a trip to some country area where he rented a cottage in a quiet and secluded place for us to officially transition from friends to FWB! :D Boy, did it work well! :D We both loved road trips and the sex was hot! It always helps if a man shows appreciation to the woman and it's like verbal foreplay. We had both been single for a while so we both appreciated each other's company and the freedom to pretend to be gf/bf for a dirty weekend. We had discussed things thoroughly beforehand and had set "ground rules". I'm not the clingy sort and I LOVE my freedom anyway (and I wasn't head over heels for him) so knowing where we stood, and having agreed-upon boundaries worked. I think what worked was also the fact that I could do my own stuff sometimes. I got up earlier and went for quiet walks by myself. I grabbed my favourite food magazine to lie down on the grass to relax and read with a glass of iced tea whilst he went around the area shooting photos. Time to ourselves is so important because we both hate being stifled and we aren't the clingy sort. Then there were stuff we did together. He had brought his PS with racecar steering wheel and we challenged each other. I'm a sore loser so after I got sick of losing and flipping my car, I watched him play and became his cheerleader. :P We drove around and explored the area together. We love architecture so we had a running commentary going on about how beautiful the roof was, the exquisite details, blah blah. We did stuff like feed the ducks and fishes in the lakes, stopped by the country cafes for tea and scones, admired the dogs being taken out for walks, I kinda amused him a bit when I said, "Ah, this area would be great for a horror movie! That area for an epic love story!" We shared past life experiences, dreams, likes and dislikes, etc. We were good companions who were determined to have a great vacation and thoroughly enjoy the experience. What didn't work was, I wanted to have healthy salads and then check out the country restaurants / pubs occasionally whilst he thought it was a great idea to eat frozen Aldi's TV meals throughout! :P What didn't work was, we didn't fuck enough. :P Nothing that were deal breakers. More things worked than didn't work. It was the start of many road trips together over the next three years. :) Strangely enough, we never fell in love and we were always just really really good friends and buddies. We had a huge respect and appreciation of each other, but we weren't anywhere near compatible as a romantic couple. Sometimes, I think maybe romantic relationships are over-rated because I'd rather have easygoing, relaxing friendships like that with no strangulating commitments needed because we both respected each other enough to not just abandon each other anyway. It was a non-commitment commitment. LOL!!! If you are planning to take your FWB travelling, that's awesome! You'll either grow closer or fall apart but either ways, you will not stay the same. Pre-trip, have an extensive and honest discussion, set some "ground rules", and then cross your fingers and pray it'll work out! ;) Good luck! Good luck to me too cause I sooooo need a solid FWB to travel with and do schtuff with too!

  my partner in crime and I travel all the time, it started not long after we first met, he dragged me in some ridiculosoulsy long over night hike, & I loved it. We get away whenever we can, from 2 days, work days to 3+ weeks OS. We find we work really well together travelling, we're organised, know what each other likes & is capable off. It's the perfect friendships : ) - Posted from rhpmobile

  I've done a mini road trip with one friend, and done short trips also during a weekend. If the "F" part of FWB is correct, it's not all about sex, or that's more a FB. I'm seeking sex AND companionship/company, but that's doesn't mean I will always turn down sex alone if offered ;)

  sometimes I prefer to travel by myself (total freedom on what to do and when / yeaaahhh) sometimes I prefer to travel with a friend. if the friend happens to be an FWB then even better
