A University of Ottawa researcher says young people have their own codes to describe sexual encounters outside of committed relationships. Jocelyn Wentland, a doctoral student in experimental psychology, looked at the various types of casual-sex relationships among people aged 18 to 27 and how they are termed. On the other hand, the one-night stand is usually the classic case of two people who meet at a bar and then hook up for the night, she explained.
As for friends with benefits, they are people who were friends before they became sexually involved. Those relationships, Wentland says, are the most complicated. The friends might be part of a group and not want the others to know about their sexual relationship, she said.
How relationships were defined depended on the frequency of sexual contact, how much personal information is shared, and emotional attachment, among other things. Other terms that were discussed during the study that did not make the top four included: boy toy, fling, fooling around and no strings attached.
