There Are No Fuckbois: Power Asymmetries in Fuck-Buddy Relationships

Feminism tells women that they are just like men, but better. Even when it comes to sexual relationships, they should behave like caricatures of the men they idolize, i.e. shun commitment but instead have have lots and lots of casual sex. According to feminist doctrine, it is empowering for women to get railed by a bunch of random dudes, but guys who have sex with women are of course evil oppressors. This view even shaped laws in the West. In several countries, prostitution is some kind of Schroedinger’s crime: it is a crime for the man who pays for sex, but not for the woman who sells her services. This is utterly bizarre, but these are the laws, so do not ask pesky question, bigot!

Attractive guys who bang a lot of random chicks use special terms. They speak of a “side piece”, a “fuck buddy”, or perhaps of a “plate”, which is shortened from “spinning plates”. In these relationships, if you want to call them that, men have a lot more power than women. Normally, guys speaks openly about not having any interest in a committed relationship, yet these women come back over and over again, for another ride on Chad’s big dick. If the woman moves on, it is not a big deal. Often, she will boomerang back after a few weeks or months anyway, but normally not stick around quite as long as it is too damaging to her self-esteem to be used as nothing more than a piece of meat.

Interestingly, some empowered, sex-positive women want to flip the script on guys in such circumstances. They may use words like “side dick” or “fuckboi”. However, this is completely nonsensical. A woman gets very little out of these relationships. Of course she gets limited bragging rights for banding Chad, but so do plenty of other women. For a woman, it is trivially easy to have sex, so it is not much of an achievement. Consequently, there is no double standard. “Slut” is not positive term and will never be.

When a chick comes over for a quick fuck, you normally kick her out afterwards. She wants to stay for longer or make inane suggestions about you meeting her friends and often they try to mark their supposed territory by leaving some of their belongings behind. Very few women want to only be used for sex and then be discarded. They sleep with Chad because they hope that they can make him change his ways. The only question is how many weeks of crying in front of her girlfriends about Chad being such an asshole she can endure.

There is also the issue of emotional attachment. Women often only feel “used” after a one-night stand if the guy does not call them back, which occasionally leads to false rape accusations. They even cry over guys who just pump-and-dump them. In contrast, no “fuckboi” cries if one of his side pieces stops calling. It just does not bother them. A side piece remains a side piece. Oh, speaking of that term: a side piece originally was a woman you bang on the side while being in a committed relationship but it seems to also be used as a label for any woman you are not serious about. This is similar to a side gig. Sure, you can have a side gig in addition to your job, but if you are unemployed, your side gig remains a side gig and does not become the main job.

Sexual dynamics are based on biological realities. Just like in any other aspect, women can pretend to be just like men and they may even believe it. Nonetheless, by doing so they are only deluding themselves. Women cannot even hide this very well. They sometimes admiringly speak of their “fuckboi” whereas a term like “side peace” is not used to express endearment. A horny slut will say, “Pound me harder, fuckboi!” The guy just shrugs and may even feel complimented. Yet, no woman wants to be called a fuck buddy or a side piece. They want to be the number one for their man.
