I'm married. Two of my oldest friends from childhood are guys. The friendships always stayed in the platonic zone.

This really is about people who cheat, and men and women do it. If a woman was saying that to cover something she was doing wrong, it is not an indictment on men and women being friends, she's just a liar and a cheater.
In these so-called platonic male/female friendships, at least one party is always harboring sexual feelings. Just because that party hasn't come out with it doesn't mean it isn't there.

Well, in the case of my ex-boyfriend - they were there at one point in time but they are no longer there. In some other cases - they were one sided and then faded away. In other cases - as far as I'm concerned - they were never there to begin with.
Whatever the case - I have male friends that I treasure that I'm not sexually attracted to.
Some people aren't capable of having friends of the opposite sex. I find that those are the ones that believe it's impossible for everyone because it's impossible for them. That's fine.

You're still friends with your ex-bf? Wow. The dude your dating must have low self-esteem.
In response to you last paragraph: it's not "some people" aren't capable of having friends with the opposite sex. No one is capable. That's what I'm trying to say.

I'm married. Have been for 8 years. He and my ex-bf get along really well just like I get along with my ex-bf's wife very well. I assure you that my "dude" is not lacking in self-esteem.
You are just proving my point. Some people are incapable of having platonic friends of the opposite sex - therefore, they believe everyone is the same way. You can say that no one is capable - but that seems to be erroneous based on the fact that other people are capable of it. If you said, "I'm not capable of having friends of the opposite sex" - I would totally believe you.

lol that is healing...that normally comes after sex has taken place, not before.
my point was sexuality has no "feeling" unless we are talking about the physical side.
im certainly not "lusting" over my females friends after 15 years. that sort of behavior sailed out of my 20's when i started to be a little more open and honest with people about my true intentions towards them.
you have to be looking for something in order to find it
