| Can men and women be friends without sex?
Posted: 10/20/2006 7:20:13 PM | I have many friends that I love dearly and will do anything possible to help them in their happiness and life's journey but I have not approached sex with them. Although I must admit that I may have fantasized about them. My friends are dear to me and a reflection of my good will to others. I want their lives to be full, positive and dynamic. I f I can help them realize some of their goals and milestones, I am truly heartened and sex is secondary!
Peace | |

Posted: 10/20/2006 8:23:31 PM | To all in Pof land and to all a good night!
Yes of course men and women can be friends. We are not (all) neanderthals now are we?
In the spirit of human suffering yes we do all need affection. That is not necessarily in the form of invasive bodily functions. A kiss on the cheek a hug a snuggle. Come on Guys and Girls you know you like it. If you... male or female got that kind of attention you would be well on your way to Mr. Or Miss Right. Male and female relationships create a sounding board for our feelings. That is a GOOD thing. Alas I must degress... my boyfriend of 3.5 yrs found another woman ...younger more ...suitable to his Greek family ... on this site. I am not bitter. I am happy he gets what he deserves? ha ....jokes... Well I am happy that people take their forks in the road and do what they do. But a friend in hand is worth two in the bush!
Having said that.. I am a true advocate of male/female friendships...They keep us focused. Come on be realistic. My friend DJ Rudy... read the testimonial. I have written others for guys I trust to women out there. Get over yourselves...Life is just too short! Challenge to anyone who does not agree. I am open to discussion!
take care friends.

Posted: 10/20/2006 10:11:15 PM | It's definitely okay so long as people know there's no competition. My best friend is a girl I've known for quite a few years now. She's like a sister to me and I look out for her as if she was. She's one of the first friends a new gf meets. Why you might ask...well the answer is simple. If the new gf meets my friend she'll know my friend is not a threat. She'll know that when my friend and I are haning out (alone or otherwise) that there's nothing to be worried about.
It's all about everyone's comfort level with everyone else. I feel that if I try to hide my friend suspicion will arise. However, if I am up front about how close a friend she is I'll never have a problem. If there is a problem you talk it through so that everyone feels comfortable. | |

Posted: 10/23/2006 12:11:52 AM | Men and women can be friends without sex practically. Usually we get attracted sexually to some extent, too and it's our hidden ( potential ) dream. But even if we don't get attracted by the person as an opposite sex, sometimes we adore, respect, trust and like the person a lot, right? Friendship is a basis for any further relationships, I believe. And we would die if we have sex with every people we meet in our lives lol
But some men use the excuse "She's a friend" and it's BS. That's a different subject. I know a few man like that. He would say "She is nothing but a friend" even if he is caught in the very act he is having sex in the bed... balloon-head lol | |

Posted: 10/29/2006 9:07:48 PM | Men and women can exhist in a "relationship " as friends. Sometimes, that is what attracts two people together, the fact that they can be just friends, there will be no " relationship" headaches, they can shoot the carp about anything. Be a voice of reason, a shoulder to lean on, a different perspective, someone to say " What were you thinking? " or" OH my God, I cannot believe you!!" or " Yup, thats what I thought" etc The friendship can exhist and be very fruitful, and fulfilling providing that intimacy is not brought into it. Once it has been, then the friendship boundary has been compromised. No more playin catch, and pull my finger jokes with your " buddy" cuz you crossed the line.......get yerself a tandem bike, and a picnic basket......you are gonna need it nancy Cuz your friend, is going to want you to go shopping.......ALOT!!!!!!!!!
Consequently, if there was sex, would that not be known as F buddies?? So, you are in bed with " your friend", passionate love.....JUST PASSIONATE , then your friend looks up at you and says..." Pull my Finger" cuz thats what friends do
Friendships are a great thing to have with a woman. They offer alot of insight, opinions, often you can pick up on some things you can add to your repetoire. However , on the flip side, there is the" I have a problem with my boyfriend / boss / dog / insert name here" But hey, thats what friends are for
Thats my 2 cents, and then some  | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 5:50:35 AM | I think men and women are iether attracted to each other or not. if they are some part of the attraction is sexual how can you seperate the feelings. do i think it is wrong to be freinds with many women....no. It is wrong to betray your mate though. If i have entered into a partner ship and that partner ship is agreed to be exclusive then no one should brreak the bond.
what is really wrong is that you were made to feel the fool. He obveously did not consider your feelings.
you two should go over your partner ship agreement or make one that spells out both of your views and see if you cannot come to some common ground. | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 6:30:52 AM | | I think it's easier for women to have male friends than men to have female friends. Men are going to be men even if you're just a friend. Sorry guys, just being honest. | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 6:56:53 AM | yup I would have to agree.
yes men and women can be "friends" without sex. Not a problem.
The problem is that the "men" will have sex on the brain. Yes its true we think about sex all the time. This doesnt mean your male buddy will try to jump you ...nope that wont happen.
But dont pretend that thoughts of "bumping uglies" will never pass his mind.
this doesnt mean that you cant be friends or that the man "devalues" your friendship...he may be your friend for 50 years and never act on sexual thoughts.
But I find it funny when "people" claim that thier friendship are somehow devoid of sexual "tension" of one sort or another.
Maybe if you find each other sexually repugnent....but thats unlikely.
So yes men and women can be friends, but lets not pretend that these relationships are "devoid" of sex...its always there...and there is nothing weong with that. | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 8:22:55 AM | | Do you have sex with everyone you meet and befriend, regardless of gender? If the answer is yes, then no, you can't have friends of the opposite sex. If the answer to that question is no, then yes, you can have friends of the opposite sex. | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 1:50:26 PM | Definetely, it's a choice. I have friends I'm attracted to that I haven't slept with, and WON'T sleep with, and ones that I've never even thought of in that way, hence the term "he's like a brother to me!".
I don't see why you should automatically have sex with all your friends just because they're of the opposite gender. | |
