| Can men and women be friends without sex?
Posted: 3/31/2007 7:55:07 AM | I believe that men and women can be freinds without sex. Why does everything have to revolve around sex? Society pushes it in our face all the time with ads, magazine, movies etc. There is more to life than just sex!
Everyone needs friends whether they are the same sex or the opposite. If you are dating someone, tell them straight up that you do have female/male friends and don't hide it! It is better to be open and honest or it will bite you in the butt later. | |

Posted: 3/31/2007 12:13:26 PM | | They can actualy be darn good ones. Everything should revolve around having fun. We live in a far too visual world. See something you like and go for it. The biggest thing in life is having folks to go-out and have some fun with. I don't get-along with most single guys because why hang-out and yak about women when hanging-out with the Gals is much more fun. Date,have friends and don't hide nothing. Might bite you somewhere else too. | |

Posted: 4/1/2007 2:11:54 PM | Well Majority of my friends are Male - I just have limited Friends that are Women. I relate to Men better than Women for some reason. Yes Men and Women can be friends without sex except if you have a sexually history with a friend or you was once Friends with BENEFITS/Casual dating them.... then that would be rather an awkward situation.
As I said, majority of my friends from here & Offline are men- I talk to them online & Over the phone but meeting them again for coffee or doing stuff is "out of the question" not bec I am in a committed relationship now--- its just my NATURE that when I am with someone in a relationship--- I tend to limit myself not to Hang out with my Guy Friends as much as I used to when I was SINGLE....
I have a HIGH RESPECT For my BF, AL despite we dont spend that much time together.... We really love and care for one another....  | |

It's just this simple; I am friends with more men than women(almost all men).
I hold myself to pretty high ideals & passing my vagina out like an after dinner mint... well, it doesn't work for me.
Now that's a funny quote! | |

Posted: 4/21/2007 8:59:13 AM | Most of my friends are guys. And I have been friends with most of those guys since high school. When my guy friends had a serious g/f or were married, the g/f or wife was always invited along. In most cases the wife or g/f also became my friend. When I was in a relationship my s/o was always invited along.
Sure there were times when my friend or I would have a problem we wanted to talk to the other about and we would go somewhere just to talk. But that was rare. By the time we went out just the two of us, our s/o already knew the other and was comfortable with it.
OP have you met these women? If not will he introduce you to them...AS HIS S/O? Also will he invite you on some of thses outings with his friends? If the answers to these questions are yes, then I think you are ok. But if not I think you have a problem.
Yes men and women can be friends w/o having sex, however when they are they have no problem introducing their s/o to their friends and including them in their plans.

Posted: 4/21/2007 9:27:38 AM | I read a little of this thread and it has me thinking. By the way I'm writing this remote from the Bahamas surrounded by friends. In fact their looking at me weird right now because I'm on the net instead of hanging out. Well, I have all the time I want to hang out (at least for now). Anyway, we're having fun reading this (half naked down here) and we think for the most part as a group that it is fun to just "be". Does that make sense? If it happens it happens if it doesn't it doesn't.
Now I'm telling you this based on what the whole is saying here and not necessarily my thoughts. | |

Posted: 4/21/2007 9:31:41 AM | | If one is in a relationship it is ideal to go out with other members of the opposite sex in a group setting, just as friends, so that your partner can see that you are being faithful and that the relationship is strictly plutonic with such person(s). | |

Posted: 4/21/2007 9:46:56 AM | Yes, yes, yes and sometimes there is an attraction but you both know your not right for each other on all levels but enjoy each others company.
I love men as friends.
They have been such a good support and easy to talk to about anything. | |

Posted: 5/6/2007 5:46:01 AM | | Yes they can, I have many male friends, and have never even thought of having sex with them..For me to have sex there has to be a connection, I have to have feelings for them, I would rather make love to someone I am attracted to.. | |

Posted: 8/24/2005 1  45 PM my ex boyfriend 18-8...says women and men can be friends with out any sex.. at times he would go out with anywhere from two to six women. An when I had a problem with it he made me feel like a fool...what do you think?
No. Tried it, she ended up telling me she loved me. End of friendship. Now it's "coworker" "person I need" or "other". | |

Posted: 5/27/2007 11:08:17 PM | I have tons of guy friends. BUT where as I dont see them in a sexual way, most of them would if I said yes.
BUT if you're in a serious relationship, all outings with your buds that are of the opposite sex should cease unless you take your S.O. along. | |

| Can men and women be friends without sex?
Posted: 5/28/2007 8:41:04 AM | | Yes it is very possible. It's much easier when you aren't physcially attactive to them. However, just be aware that both sexes have different expectations on what they expect as friends. It can happen, but it's not as easy as it looks. | |

Posted: 5/28/2007 9:21:58 AM | Yeah, it can work. I have female friends that I wouldn't really want to sleep with, and o although going out with six women without his girlfriend seems a bit odd. Usually if I'm out with that many friends, I'm not the only guy. If he wasn't letting you tag along, yeah, that's screwed up.
It really depends on what kind of mindset you have. I've never dated or been serious with someone who DIDN'T have friends of the opposite sex, so jealousy has never really been an issue in that department. I've never really thought twice about meeting a friend downtown for lunch or coffee when I'm between classes, though, be they male or female. | |

Posted: 5/28/2007 9:31:43 AM | some of my closest friends are male.....
and i guarantee we have never or will never have sex!!! the relationship i have with them is purely platonic. sometimes its nice to get a male point of view rather than a female point of view. if i go out with my male friends people always presume i must be sleepin with one of them... WHY???
men and women really can be just friends!!!! | |

| Can men and women be friends without sex?
Posted: 5/28/2007 9:37:14 AM | yes...
it is easy to be friends with the men/women... I have some great friends who are women... so for me it is not a problem, and I am ok with my gf having male friends.
Now I do trust my gf and she trusts me so all good that way, if the relationship is rocky and my other has new male friends, well lets just say that does not sound too good to me!
otherwise it is all good! | |

Posted: 5/28/2007 11:02:57 AM | | I know I have female platonic friends, but I'd happily introduce them to my gf, or invite her to come along with. And if she didn't like the way I hugged them, I would stop and ask them to respect my gf's wishes. Did he do that? | |

Nono, that's YOUR feeling of the situation. Your male companions may have a radically different view as they sabotage and drive off other suiters and lay in wait for the shot at you. I avoid such women because you are always in competition with her "friends". Don't kid yourself sweetie, you might be surrounded by sharks... | |
