platonic friends by MillMan (4.00 / 1) #3 Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 03:58:01 AM EST

unless you're both completely unattracted to each other, it's rarely stable unless you're both getting all the hot sex you need elsewhere.

When I'm imprisoned as an enemy combatant, will you blog about it?

No.

I completely disagree.

It is not that black and white. Or simple. Or logical. Or easy to assess.

But you're a guy and I love how you think, regardless!!!

: maybe it's easier for women by MillMan (4.00 / 1) #14 Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 11:35:40 AM EST

the penis has very simple demands, and it always wins. "Beating back" its demands results in serious emotional turmoil. I've certainly tried. It's never a net positive.
Now that I think about it, the easiest platonic friendships I have are with women with whom I did once sleep with and with whom all the sexual energy between us has been spent.

Not always true. by toxicfur (4.00 / 1) #9 Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 10:00:17 AM EST

I had a friend before I met ana who I was very close to. I was very attracted to her, and she to me, but neither of us were in a position to be in a healthy relationship. We never slept together, and stayed very close. I owe her an email, but I know she's out there, still caring about me and happy that I'm found love.

Exactly! by moonvine (4.00 / 1) #11 Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 10:03:35 AM EST

You sublimate your initial heady erotic love feelings to real platonic love. It can be done!

: story of my last couple of decades by iGrrrl (4.00 / 1) #21 Wed Jan 02, 2008 at 09:41:34 PM EST

One thing I like about being stably married is that it removes the possibility of sex from any relationship with someone else (and that's male or female someone elses for me). Changes the dynamic entirely, and for me, that's a good thing.
