Can men have friendships with women that are nonsexual in nature?

You can’t take it for granted that all men and all women are capable of a non-sensual relationship with the opposite sex. It is the male rather than a woman who is unable to look at the opposite sex without separating himself from the normal connotations attached.

Still, this is a big question!

this is such a bullshit dichotomy. Men are no more lustful than women.

Yeah, if the guy is gay and the woman is a lesbian or something.
LOL.


But in all seriousness, if there isn't a genuine attraction, or the two know each other too well - akin to siblings, then nothing would happen.

Its stupid to even ask, as if it is impossible for guys and girls to be friends, yes sometimes one falls for the other but this does not stop people being friends. Also, do you lust/love everyone man/woman you meet?

I think this whole post is dumb.
Can bi people not want to screw everyone they meet?
Do straight/ gay people want to screw every girl/ guy they come across?

Yeah, but societal norms dictate that women have to keep it hidden, otherwise be derided and ostracised by their peers.



And damn right too.

why do relationship chat end up using "words" to make it sound cooler lol, its about life gdamit lol stay out of the books use some slang mate ;). and yes guys can be friends with gurls without sexual thoughts, but thats for most of the time. Its virtually impossible not to think about something thats slightly sexual, and likewise for girls.
