    Do you believe it's possible? To have a purely platonic friendship with the opposite sex, no sex involved?

    I don't think it's possible unless there's no physical attraction or one or both are already involved in a romantic relationship... and happy.

    There was always sexual tension between me and my guy friends, unless they were unnactractive or I was in love with someone else...

    I think it's human and normal. It sucks, though... I think the sexual tension between a girl and a guy can ruin a possible friendship.

    Also if it's not just sex, I think a friendship can easily turn into infatuation and when it's over, not only there's no more romantic relationship, but oftentimes the friendship is also ruinned.

    Tricky, really. I guess there's gotta be rules... if you want it to work...

    My closest friend is a dropdead gorgeous woman. She is perhaps one of the most beautiful women I've ever met, and we are friends, purely friends.

    I suppose I do feel some attraction towards her sometimes but not enough to get in the way of our friendship. I know she feels more or less the same too. She now has a boyfriend, she didn't when we met, but that has made absolutely no difference to how we interact.

    I agree that it is rare to find this sort of platonic friendship but it does exist. One of the things I find that sets my platonic friendships apart from other relationships I suppose, is that we tend to flirt less. I find that people who are naturally flirtatious or flirt quite a lot, are difficult to keep a purely platonic friendship with.

    If there is sexual innuendo flying around, one or the other can easily follow a path of reasoning that will finish up in bed.

    it happens all the time. although with beautiful women it is harder, because they are used to being treated a certain way. an if ya dont treat em that way it drives em crazy and they then view you as some great conquest to be had.

    Well, all my closest friends are guys. It's always been that way. And I've never had sex with any of them. :p

    Yes, for sure! But of course it depends on both persons. I can imagine that in general there is sexual tension, or maybe even love, that gets in the way of the friendship, but not nearly in every case.

    I have male and female friends. They're all reasonably attractive. I have yet to fuck any of them. Why? Because they're my friends.

    Why must we all lead with our libidos???? Why can't a man & woman be friendly without the expectation of mashing their genitals together???

    Well I have some women I am friends with and at times I make comments but would never over step that line. I want just friends and thats it.

    It's both easy and possible unless you're some kind of oversexed maniac.

    Lots of oversexed folks out there though.

    Haha, true to both...

    It is very possible, I don't understand why it isn't... We are all humans afterall.. Just because someone has a penis doesn't mean I automatically want them sexually, haha that's rubbish and quite comical...

    Is it possible to have a physical relationship with a woman these days without them thinking that you want to put your cock in them? I mean it's obviously an option, but it doesn't have to be all the time.

    It's not hard at all for me. Sure I've had friends that are sexy, but they are my friends, there is no need to fuck them. I want them as friends not fuck buddies.

    It's bloody near impossible for me. I just avoid getting too chummy with girls I can't hook up with.

    I have quite a few guy friends, admittedly I slept with one, but we were very drunk at the time.

    Haha, of course I am really really sure.. But this is for me, I suppose others are different and possibly find it hard to be friends with the opposite sex, though for me it goes the other way, it is easy to be friends with the opposite sex and not have any attraction to them...

    I have a lot of guy friends and lots of them flirt and try to make something happen, but I dont consider them my real friends and it's just the type of person they are.
    But I have other guy friends were there has never been any sexual tension and I've gptten drunk with them, spent all day in bed, watching tv or listening to music and there's never that feeling of "he's gonna get the wrong idea".

    It depends, do you have sex for love? Or do you just obsessed with the temporary high of orgasm? Because if you ask me, people who are obsessed with sex are no different than crack heads. Unless you master the karma sutras, then your no different than a heroin addict. Either way it's pretty mad gay to ruin a possible friendship for a burst of sexual energy.
