Young generations nowadays, especially Gen Z, seem to be gradually so open-minded when it comes
to strange, new and growing sexual appetite tendency, for instance: the Friends with Benefits
relationship. First of all, a FWB relationship is when 2 people have an ỉnimate connection physically,
yet they do not have emotions or expectations for each other in any way. Moreover, they enjoy
spending time having sexual intercourse together, but their relationships isn’t romantic and has
nothing attached. So, why there are so many young people would rather be involved in this so-
called relationship than having a true love one ? There are numerous researches searching for the
reason, surprisingly, many of them mainly indicate that the unstable mental life of the youngs could
be the good explanation for this social phenomenon. Most people who willingly involve themselves
in this kind of hurtful relationship have much trauma and negative experiences in the past, they
were betrayed, abused, cheated on, or they have a broken family or witnessed so many toxic
relationships while they grew up,... As a consequence, they have trust issues, start to doubt their
ability about choosing their partners, scare to get hurt again, scare to worsen the scars they have
already got, are not ready to open up to love or to be loved, or give up their safety net in the name
of this emotional non-investment relationship. Therefore, they are scare of committing themselves
to a long-lasting relationship and that FWB relationship will be their favourite and safe choice. Due
to its two-sided feature, people wonder that is it good for them, is it worth the time and
experiences they spend with someone they do not have any feeling for? There is not enough
suitable proofs to indicate whether this kind of relationship is bad or good, however, the people
themselves are not deserve to be criticized because I believe that, they do not really want to be
involved in that connection, deep down inside them, I believe they still hoping for a real love, a real
partner, a real connection between two hearts. Taking part in this kind of relationship is somehow
healing them, helping them overcome the fear of love, and its experiences might tell them that
things will be alright, they do not have to try so much to find the loved one, and time heals all one’s
wounds. Hence, it is so uncomfortable to judge whether this type of relationship is good or not
because it is formed and assumed by society so complicatedly, however, the people who get involve
in are the victims and they should be healed and shown how they can find a healthy relationship.
