Topic: Friendship without sex | |
---|---|
Does it exist? I don't mean to raise a philosophical question, but even my own experiences have showed me, at some point you begin to develop some sort of "feelings". Whether it's the guy or girl (I've experienced both). I think as you get older and embrace the complications of meeting others, it is possible, but it needs to be established. Basically two people on the same page - in terms of communication, goals, or reason of friendship (usually progressive). Can a friendship exist without the lust, especially if the relationship holds more of a intrinsic value than simply having sex? Please share your success stories :) I have more men friends than I do women that is just a fact of life. when I hang out with my guy friends there has never ever been an issue of something sexual come up.. IF the thought has crossed their minds they were wise enough to keep it themselves.Some of the best insight in myself and them has been long discussions on their outlook of life compared to mine. I have been in hunting camps with men and anything sexual is the farthest thing from any of our minds... I can't speak for any other woman on here but usually when a woman puts you a guy in the friends zone that is where you stay.. You are my buddy the one that I hang around with go fishing with, play football, all the things most of my GF's aren't into.. One you are put there with me then you stay there.. If that said person ever tried to come out of there it strains the friendship... I think it's cool you have more guy friends, although I wouldn't necessarily say I have an equal amount of friends either. That "strains the friendship" is what I question. We have all experienced friendship and I would argue why is it strain, but it should now be stronger. Perhaps it's not fighting for the friendship or giving in to immediate feelings (a confusion if you will) - nevertheless it's interesting to know you can have platonic relationships without compromising the quality and foundation. I would certainly hold on to those :). I do and will some I have had for over 30 years...Some as little as one year... Friends in my world are very very precious and you don't mess that up |
