These are two individuals, usually a male and a female, who occasionally engage in noncoital sexual behavior (most often masturbation but possibly other forms) without being lovers or having any long-term commitment. Usually this is done on an infrequent basis if one or the other is in need. Think of this as one possible and occasional outcome of a strong friendship between a man and a woman. I hope this definition does not offend.
While Tom and Jennifer's relationship was usually Platonic, sometimes theirs devolved into that of 'friends with minor benefits.'

Friends with emotional benefits or FWEB (pronouned "feb") is a relationship between two people similar to the more common friends with benefits arrangement, except without the physicality. Benefits include being able to whine, pamper, understand, defend, help, talk, whisper, use inside jokes with each other, etc... Hallmarks of such a relationship are two people who talks about sex, but never have sex. One person in the relationship is typically sprung. The other person is typically "looking," "still young," or "not sure." They bear every semblance to a real couple, except they are not one.
An ex-couple which stay close, uncomfortably close, friends. Typically guys named Mike and girls named Ha have a Friends with Emotional Benefits relationship. You guys are such fwebs. Quit being fwebs and just get together.

"Friends With Minor Benefits" denotes a relationship in which two friends participate in non-coital activities usually designated for more intimate relationships without the attached emotional bond.
These activities can range anywhere from simple making out all the way to mutual masturbation and/or oral sex, but does not include actual coitus (that would be considered "friends with benefits").

This is a friends with benefits arrangement where everything goes except sex. These friends kiss, flirt and confide in each other but there is no sex. Some may or may not engage in oral sex.
