Friends with benefits

‘Friends With Benefits’ (FWB) is becoming more popular than traditional relationship because it doesn’t include negotiation and commitment and for some, it is more natural and casual. For others, it is an easy way to escape from real life and to avoid the vulnerability of traditional relationships.

Is it a temporary fix and what happens when deep feelings develop? Is this type of a non-traditional relationship for everyone?
