We get a lot of posts here from guys saying they want an FWB, but that they think if they suggest it to a woman she will be offended.
We also get a lot of posts from women talking about happy FWB relationships they have had.
So, women, what is the non-offensive way to broach the subject? Or do you always want to be the one who brings it up? Or is nothing potentially offensive? How did your past FWB relationships start? What would be the ideal beginning of a future one?

What is the non-offensive way to broach the subject? Let those intentions be known at the very beginning. Even before the first 'date'
Or do you always want to be the one who brings it up? Depends on the individuals involved but the guy should be straight forward about the type of 'relationship' he is seeking
Or is nothing potentially offensive? I do not personally believe in FWB but I would appreciate the honesty up front
How did your past FWB relationships start? Never have/never will
What would be the ideal beginning of a future one? N/A
If my reputation weren't so important to me, I'd be willing to falsify the theory that woman want to be asked up front. Anyone want to do the experiment in my place?
Go up to women in public in your social network within 3 degrees of separation, and say "You're sexy. I'm sexy. However a long term relationship would never work between us. Want to be my friendly **** buddy?"
We would see your face in the police records and it would be swollen from all the slaps to the face you received before the police caught up to you.

Most of mine started out as new friendships first, then moved into FWB. I think one started out as a non-friend.
I do need to say this. Many men who broached the subject with me didn't want a FWB. They wanted a booty call. Meaning, sex was always on their terms, especially when they called in the dead of the night, and there was no friendship involved. I expect a FWB to be an actual friend. Someone who'd want to hang out sometimes. And someone who'd respond when I call...as much as I respond when they call.
I would assume how open a woman is about talking about sex probably can tell you how open she is about a FWB (I have no clue. Ladies?). So, if a guy approached me this way, I probably wouldn't be offended: if we got on the subject of sex, then maybe if he said something about how he misses sex, then gauge her response. Mine would probably be that I miss it too. Which then, is a good lead into starting a FWB. Compliment her, tell her you find her attractive and that you'd do her. And then hey, you wanna try a FWB?
That wouldn't offend me, best way to ease into the conversation. Compliments are always nice. That's how most of mine started. We'd get to talking about how we missed sex....or sex on a consistent basis with someone you didn't have to pick up.
Also, I'm not easily offended, so even if some guy flat out asked me if I'd want to be a FWB, I may consider it. But typically, I want to know and like the person. Y'know. The F part of FWB.

See now, this would scream booty call or ONS to me, not FWB.
Now if we actually went on a few dates and he told me he's not really interested in me "in that way" then brought up FWB, I'd be more inclined to listen. Even if he's lying, lay down some roots first. I want to feel like a participant, not a hooker.

What, pray tell, are the differences?
Women feels the need. No one in sight. Call your friendly FWB.

Most of my FWB's were actually friends. So we'd also hang out. Booty call means, call them up, you have sex, now go away. Every single time. FWB means hang out after or before (but doesn't mean all the time).
If a guy calls me up and only wants a booty call, I'd rather he just tell me, rather than try to play it off as a FWB thing. Why pretend you want to be a friend, when all you want is sex and no interaction with me otherwise?

Mine were friends, as FWB would indicate, so we already knew each others romantic circumstances. The sex just kind of happened without broaching the subject it was just understood.
I had one fwb and another weird casual relationship. Both started after each of them talked about wanting sex without commitment. I said I wanted it too. We looked at each other. It carried on from there.
Easy.
Eta: we were friends first.
