^I'm shushocked as well.
@shutree - I'm viewing this with a very matter-of-fact face. I think it boils down to finances & dependency.
To be a "mistress" implies that she's dependent on you financially - that you're supporting her lifestyle, paying for her home/ apartment/ food & other living expenses. In return, she keeps house, cooks for you, provides s*x, etc.
In a FWB situation, she's not financially dependent on you. She has her own life/ lodgings/ job, etc. You just meet each other (maybe occasionally) for s*x, conversation, etc. Then you go your separate ways. Sure you may pay for the meal/ drinks/ hotel, etc but you have your own separate lives.
At least that's how I understand it, and how it was in the film "Friends with Benefits" starring Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake (I watched a pirated copy, lol). There was also a similar movie which came out almost at the same time, starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher, "No Strings Attached" . Hollywood sometimes does things in twos.
If Ms Shanghai leads her own life in China, then she's more of a FWB than a mistress. And yes, that's the PC term for it.
Never mix cooking and house keeping duties with mistress duties. Otherwise you just end up with an expensive maid who wants to upgrade.
