尽管有利益关系的朋友(FWBR)很常见，也一直是媒体和研究关注的主题，但人们对它们知之甚少，特别是在它们与其他类型的关系有何不同方面。目前的研究试图通过一项在线调查来比较FWBR和传统浪漫关系的性结果。结果显示，与浪漫伴侣相比，FWBR伴侣不太可能是性排他性伴侣，性互动频率更低，性满意度更低，性交流通常也更少。然而，与浪漫伴侣相比，FWBR伴侣将相对更多的时间花在性行为上，更频繁地进行安全性行为，更频繁地交流关于性生活外的经历，并报告了更多终生随意性伴侣的数量。这些发现表明，FWBR和浪漫关系的性结果是相当不同的，并提供了与随意和承诺的性关系相关的潜在公共健康影响的证据。
Although friends with benefits relationships (FWBRs) are common and have been the subject of significant media and research attention, relatively little is known about them, especially in terms of how they differ from other types of relationships. The present research sought to compare the sexual outcomes of FWBRs to those of traditional romantic relationships via an online survey. Results revealed that FWBR partners were less likely to be sexually exclusive, had a lower frequency of sexual interaction, were less sexually satisfied, and generally communicated less about sex than romantic partners did. However, compared to romantic partners, FWBR partners devoted relatively more of the time spent together to sexual activity, practiced safe sex more frequently, communicated more often about extradyadic sexual experiences, and reported a greater number of lifetime casual sex partners. These findings indicate that the sexual outcomes of FWBRs and romantic relationships are quite distinct and provide evidence of the potential public health implications associated with both casual and committed sexual relationships.
