  1. 1. Do you believe a man and a woman can had a solid, lasting but completely platonic friendship with each other?

I believe a gay man and a lesbian woman can have a long lasting platonic relationship. ;)

Posted

Yes, AINEC.

Posted

No longer platonic if one party has sexual attraction to the other.

Platonic means beyond/absence of physical desire.

Posted

The only time it won't eventually lead to sexual contact is if a) there's one-sided attraction (almost certainly male > female), b) the guy has low self esteem.

In which case those two variables mean the two friends will likely never become close enough to be considered 'platonic' to begin with; because there needs to be a mutual spark between a man and a woman to begin with. Yes, even for friendship.

All other variables - under the right conditions - will eventually lead to sexual contact, which includes all contact from a kiss up to intercourse. It's an inevitable fact of life.

Great poll, one of the big questions I've been arguing about many times with many friends. Many times I was the underdog.

But the right answer is definitely NO.

Posted

Sure. And this doesn't mean I do not adore beautiful women.

Screw you. I'm sure the beautiful women adore you too.

No i kept it simple and relied on the common sense of people to figure it out.

every woman needs a gay man friend. He will treat her like a queen, better than her husband is capable without ever wanting in her pants.

So who is your platonic lady friend?

Most of my female friends are already married anyway.

But you would like to fuck them, wouldn't you?

That'd be an affair to forget.

yeah, but is it working?

What do I look like, a shoulder?

This is the weirdest relationship in the history of mankind, I have seen many of those. " kinda manly friend who understands me perfectly..." oh dear. :shakehead:

An ex of mine had a gay friend, Mark (and he was GOOD looking). He was actually a really, really nice guy. Very generous, possibly the most generous young person i've ever known. He once bought her a Thomas Burberry dress (a cream coloured fitted one, very sexily cut), it was pretty expensive. I was jealous as hell and really quite annoyed, secretly!

But still, there was no harm done, not really. He was just a kind fella.

Maybe, but only if ... one of them is really ugly AND blind.

Posted

Yep. It's not for everyone, but it is for some.

Or c) they aren't attracted to each other.

You're saying it yourself, under the right conditions.

The way some of your camp have said it it's like it's the man who has to contain himself and if you pull your shlong out something will inevitably happen, regardless of what the woman thinks! Which isn't the case.

That is actually the exact opposite of what I said.

You also seem to have failed to grasp what I said in my second paragraph, where your c) is concerned. Then again perhaps you're speaking more along the lines of female acquaintances, some of whom are considered as friends.

I discussed this matter and poll with my sister, who shares my experience and opinion on this matter.

I am to tell that in her view, anyone who voted no is an asshole!

Sounds like you have a familial defect.

I have many. But I have 2 or 3 very very close, one is my baby mama.

I reread your second paragraph. I think I grasp it perfectly. I've got a great female friend I'm not attracted to, for example.

If you washed up on a desert island with her you would fuck. Unless you're not that way inclined, at all. Ahem.

Posted

If we ended up in a desert island we'd be alone in a dangerous situation. Normally we don't live in a desert island.

Posted

Quint, we're debating with young inexperienced folk who are still exploring their sexuality and relationships.

Can't explain Steef though. ;)

Posted

I'm always aware of that with Chaac et al, but humour the tykes we must!

In all seriousness though it can be challenging to refrain from playing the age vs experience card here (on a regular basis, actually) since I honestly prefer not to patronise and condescend upon the younger members where possible, even though it probably doesn't seem that way.

Posted

Agreed. But some things you just learn through a lot of experience as well as good old age.

You get hit by a lot in your late 20s. Around 25 or so you start to figure a lot out.

I had some trouble keeping my penis in check when I was younger. Now it obeys me!

I am its master!

Or in other words...

You were in the pool, weren't you?

Posted

yes, you CAN.

a friend of mine's (male, and he's not gay) best friend is female. my oldest brother has several close female friends. I have male friends and I've had a solid, lasting and completely platonic friendship with one of them for about 5 years now... we don't see each other much these days (we live in different cities) but we speak at least 3-4 times a week.

but it's a rare thing. most of my friends have ended up attracted to/sleeping with their male friends or the friendships have ended for different reasons.

If you washed up on a desert island with her you would fuck.

what does that have to do with anything? if i were on desert island with a female friend for a longer time I'm sure that would happen too.

Give it 10-15 years, and it will no longer listen to you when you say "RISE!!!!!!! I COMMAND YOU RISE!!! PLEASSSSEEE!"

Control is illusory Steef!

I have male friends and I've had a solid, lasting and completely platonic friendship with one of them for about 5 years now.

Ask him how many times he has masturbated with you in his head. Go on.
