Is it bad for men to ever ask they’re friends that are girls if they wanna hookup/be fwb?

I’m (M21) not meaning for this to be weird question but I see how a lot of people will talk about how they are in friends with benefits relationships or they occasionally hook up with their friends and I think that that’s cool and I’m glad that people can do that without it splitting them apart but most of the time it seems like they started out randomly with somebody making a move and not actually communicating that that’s all they want on both sides and that’s where it usually gets split up

Is it bad if a guy ever straight up asked his friend if she ever would want to be friends or benefits or occasionally hook up or at least talk about it with her?
