Quotations
2003, Alexander Hart, Time in Question
:�I�m just saying that usually when you have a friend who�s a girl, it�s not just that she�s your friend. Either you�ve known her a long time, or she�s a friend with benefits.
2003, William Marsiglio, Making Males Mindful of Their Sexual and Procreative Identities: Using Self-Narratives in Field Settings, in Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, Vol. 35, No. 5
:Gender norms influence how young men orient themselves to sexual partners and girlfriends, and men�s procreative consciousness is sometimes affected by how they define a potential or actual sex partner (e.g., casual or serious girlfriend, �friend with benefits,� hookup).
2004, Cynthia Henry, Discovering Normal
:�Can I be so bold as to ask if I can be a friend with benefits?�
2005, Jennifer Klein, University of Pennsylvania
:The College Relationship is the hook up that turns into a �a person to hang out with,� more or less, a friend with benefits. This is a person whose company you sincerely enjoy, and you choose to spend extra time both hanging out and hooking up with, but there is no spoken commitment involved.
