| Can men and women be friends without sex?
Posted: 9/17/2006 10:10:37 PM | Women make great friends for men! And vice versa! Romance is optional.
Men make great friends, too, for sports, physical activities, etc. But if you really want to talk, email, share...women are terrific.
Now if I could just put physical activity together with the right woman plus talk and romance. I'd be most happy. | |

Posted: 9/17/2006 10:33:10 PM | 676 you cannot seriously think that way - I don't know if you said that to get attention or what - but if you are serious - its people like you that is wrong with the world...
everything is about sex, women are just objects and property - grow up.
I have male friends that I have been friends with for 15 years. No they are not ugly or desperate - some of them happen to be famous musicians. They live in the sex comes easy world. Thats why when they get a good friend, they hang onto them. They have respect for me - and I for them - RESPECT. What happend tomorrow if you were in an accident - and couldn't function anymore? Would you just have male friends? Those females that you supposedly are boinking that you call your friends, would you just dump them out of your circle? | |

Posted: 9/19/2006 6:04:49 AM | | men and woman can be friends with out sex, and if your partner is going out with woman well do u trust him? Cause trust is a big part, If there is no trust then hes not the man for you, my husband passed away 2 years ago and he had many woman friends and i was fine with it and he was fine with me having men friends, but there has to be trust. | |

Posted: 9/19/2006 6:23:44 AM | YES men and women can be friends without sex..............I've proved it for years.
Throughout my years, I've had more male friends than female and did not have sex with them. I get along with them better - I would rather talk about sports and cars and guy-stuff, then sit with the women and talk about shopping and gossip. Don't get me wrong, I have women friends and love em to death, but I'd rather hang with the guys and joke around.
The great thing is that some of my women friends are the same way as me so my girlfriends can sit with me and the guys and have a great time.
Back on the subject..........I have had guy friends for years WITHOUT having sex with them.
The big thing is TRUST!!!!! I am a very trustworthy person and the guy that I'm with HAS to trust me, but I also prove it to him. And if the guy I'm seeing has 'girl friends', then he needs to also be trustworthy and prove it back to me. | |

Posted: 9/20/2006 12:43:37 PM | | Paranoia and jealousy. I have as many female friends as male and I enjoy the company of all of them. So did my ex wife. Did either of us have a problem with this – no, because we trusted each other; and after two years of separation still do. I think the main point here is trust - if you can’t trust your partner then either you have a hang up or you are in the wrong relationship because you have a reason to not trust them. | |

Posted: 9/28/2006 12:56:25 PM | | I have a guy friend. I have been friends with him for about 3 years. He is my best friend and we have been growing closer. The boyfriends I have had, have been jerks. They get close to you physically and dump you. I have emotional closeness which I longed for with the others boyfriends and just didn't get. He may not be the one at the moment, but, he is the best yet. I have been taking classes on healthy relationships and I have learned what I have done wrong and others in my realtionships and I am working on myself. I personally would like the whole package but I haven't found that yet. | |

Posted: 10/1/2006 8:31:23 AM | | ...probably. depends on the nature of the friendship. if you are friends at work, never been out together for anything more than a work-related activity (baseball game, "wing night" at the local pub, etc), then chances are good you can maintain a friendship. if you meet online, it's almost taken for granted that you are looking for something more than friendship. it's happened to everyone at some time, the person who just doesn't get that although you may be attracted to his sense of humor, intelligence, or things you may have in common, that ultimately friendship is all it will ever amount to... | |

Posted: 10/1/2006 8:38:55 AM | sure they can - if both or all parties are physically repulsed by each other
Where there is smoke there is a fire! maybe he didn't like any of his female friends but chances are someone like someone... | |

Posted: 10/10/2006 12:51:58 PM | we are now living in this type of society to where it is still alright to see other ppl even if you are now married or have a serious girlfriend/boyfriend. i'm sorry but that is just a bunch of hogwash. i don't even dare to tough a guy in a wrong way if i am now steadily seeing someone. i was raised in a proper Christian home and don't believe in that garbage. yes it is quite natural for any men to  after a beautiful lady but that does not give the excuse to go to bed with them when you are already married or seriously dating someone. end of story! | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 9:53:33 PM | | i've been friends with some guy for 2 years on line and on the phone, he moved in with me, stayed here for 2 weeks and left. sex was not the problem.....we didn't have any. the problem was he didn't like the idea that i did all of the cooking and cleaning. he was supposed to be out looking for a job since he was new to the area but instead sat on his ass and watched tv all day while i was working. | |

Posted: 10/17/2006 5:25:16 AM | | Yes, they can. When I was younger, I used to sleep with guys and we never had sex. You have to know what you feel. People who have sex with everyone aren't that in touch with their feelings. Everyone you meet generates a different gradation of feeling in you. This society tells us it's wrong to explore most of this. It says you lack sexual prowess if you don't conquer everything you can. That's why the economy is in the state it's in. People whov'e got to conquer everything there is to conquer. Have sex with the ones your'e supposed to. Don't with the ones you're not supposed to. End of problem. | |

Posted: 10/17/2006 5:42:14 AM | I was just about to leave this thread when I saw this and it grated like nails on a chalk board
i was raised in a proper Christian home
Exactly what do you mean by this?
Try not to hurt your neck when you look down from your high mountain to explain it to us...especially when explaining to those that we're raised in a not-so-proper Christian home.
we are now living in this type of society to where it is still alright to see other ppl even if you are now married or have a serious girlfriend/boyfriend.
No we do not, otherwise ppl wouldn't be complaining that their significant other "cheated" on them
I suggest less time with your head in a Bible and more time looking at the world you live in.
tough a guy in a wrong way if i am now steadily seeing someone
When do you touch a man in the wrong way and is it wrong when you do it? | |

Posted: 10/17/2006 8:37:20 PM | Yes they can. In my world, I have always had more male friends then female and it's all good and there is no "underlying" tones of sex.
Flip side - I have maintained great friendships with men "after" a relationship (long or short) - between mature adults who don't have silly issues about it - it can be a postive thing - and not a big deal. I tend to go with the fact, it's the people who can't let go and move on - grow from a relationship! It's those that cling, have issues, and can't just go with the flow that continually use the excuse men/women can't be friends. Yes we can. Just takes maturity and understanding and the ability to laugh at the fact - it wasn't meant to be. | |

Posted: 10/20/2006 4:37:28 AM | A friend of mine moved in with her ex-boyfriend a little while ago. Everybody kept asking her if that was really fine with her boyfriend, but of course she had asked him, and he had shrugged and said: Of course it's okay. Why do you ask?
Turns out, it works just fine. It's just a question of confidence. Btw, me and her, we're friends, too, and I don't want anything but friendship, either. | |

Posted: 10/20/2006 7:55:47 AM | | Some of my best friends have been women without any sex involved. Men and women bring different veiws and are great people to talk to. A woman can make me understand things a man could not. They have different veiws and outlooks and those are very refreshing. So I say yes a man and a woman can be friends without sex. | |

Posted: 10/20/2006 5:17:41 PM | If men and women cannot be friends without having sex, I'd be a whore, as I have many male friends. As I'm still a virgin, I suppose now's a good time to 'fess up and admit that yes, men and women can actually be friends without having sex or desiring to do so. Shocking, I know.
A relationship in which sex is not an aspect is generally defined as a platonic (in it's modern sense) relationship. As an example, I have a dear friend named Barry. I love Barry to pieces, but Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On doesn't play in the back of my mind when I think of him. I've never even considered Barry in a sexual light, which is great, as it's mutual.
Here's a chance to answer your own question. Think back on your own relationships with males. Ever had a male friend without sex being an issue?  | |
