The main objective of this quantitative non-experimentalinvestigation was to explore how different levels of religiosity and sensation seeking traits correlateamong Puerto Rican university students that report FWB relationships. Three instruments wereadministered in the Spanish language to students from universities in the metropolitan area of PuertoRico. According to their answers, 61.8% of the sample reported lifetime FWB relationships and 17.9%reported current FWB. Of the latter, 40% reported more than one lifetime FWB. Consistent with thestated hypothesis, we found that high levels of sensation seeking traits were associated to higher levels ofreported FWB relationships (p\u003C.05) . The findings inform us about the motivations and expectationsuniversity students have to engage in FWB relationships.  \nKeywords  \nFriends with benefits, casual sex, sexuality, young adults  \n## RESUMEN\n\nUna relación de amigo o amiga con privilegio (ACP) tiene tres componentes; la presencia de una amistad,la actividad sexual y la ausencia de un compromiso establecido. El objetivo principal de estainvestigación cuantitativa no experimental fue explorar como correlacionan distintos niveles dereligiosidad y búsqueda de sensaciones en estudiantes puertorriqueños que reportan tener ACP. Seadministraron tres cuestionarios en español a estudiantes de distintas universidades del área metropolitanade Puerto Rico. El 61.8% dela muestra reportó experiencias con ACP alguna vez en sus vidas y el 17.9%estaban en una relación de ACP al momento del estudio. De éstos, el 40% reportó tener más de un ACP.Consistente con las hipótesis planteadas, altos niveles de búsqueda de sensaciones estuvo asociado a unmayor número de relaciones de ACP (p\u003C . 05) .
