This month, for my advice column at Document Journal, I’ll be answering questions about fuckboys. What are your thoughts, questions, or concerns about fuckboys?
I'm sort of a fuckboy.... FWB has a very clear line, whereas fuckboys are perhaps more emotionally manipulative... although there can be a fuckboy who's in a friends with benefits situation! It's complicated!! hahaha
Fuckboys are and can be a delight. And can also be really difficult to manage emotionally. As someone who was one before a longer partnership and who now gets to occasionally enjoy the company of one in my current partnered state what personally works for me is and has been : Take the joy with the ennui;the good dick with the wine.
Some of the fuckboys I know are very lonely, but others who handle the delicate role of fuckboy with respect seem pretty happy. I think people are often healthiest in the role when it's a temporary thing - like after a breakup - and open with everyone they're seeing that they're being a bit of a fuckboy at the moment, haha
Ooooo good question... I don't think so! But I class fuckboys by a certain set of behaviors, which might be more common among younger men... but still occur with people of all ages :)
In my quest for lifelong and never-ending knowledge, I find myself wondering whether the seductive, and undoubtedly fleeting existence of a 'Fuckboy' – a life marked by ephemeral romances and unbridled desire – could be an enrichment or a burden to the depth of my own life. It would be a journey into the unknown terrain of interpersonal relationships, one I intend to explore, to understand whether in the shadows of these fleeting connections, there might lie unexpected nuances of truth and self-awareness.
Is a Fuckboy the new term for FWB (Friend With Benefits)? And what if the Fuckboy is a Fuckgirl?

Is there an age group or age limit to being a fuckboy?

Is ghosting after a short term fling abuse?
Under most circumstances I would say no lol

How would you rate sex with Fucboys vs FWB vs partners in a relationship (within the first 12months)? Is there any patter you might have discerned?
*Fuckboys
*Pattern
Can men initiate a Fuckboy relationship?
Of course :)
How does that work? hah. :-)
Are fuckboys better than softboys - like more honest, in-your-face and ultimately careful? I'm so confused!
Idk I think some softboys are fuckboys... there's a lot of overlap
So is it worth it? Long term intimacy is wonderful, so what are your thoughts about building up to a long relationship?
Fuckboys can be in long term relationships too!
Agreed, I know one.
