    in all truthfulness, yes, and its rather easy

    definitely easy

    Thank you both! I'm with you. It's all in how you START the relationship. Clear, honest lines from the beginning, no chance for any hanky panky or I cut something off. Of course I was that way before I met my husband (on the internet) too... lol. He says that's one of the things he liked about me :love:

    Yes. Can I unlock you?
    Only if you know the secret knock to get in. :smooched:

    That would require me to bang against the door. I prefer to press the doorbell first.

    In my experience ive always got on better with lads as mates (i did grow up with 4 big brothers and 2 brother inlaws tho) , ive had some male friends for 30 yrs and most, ive only just found out they also have crushes on me, even tho they have wives and kids..so keep my distance now :( the females friends i had turned out to be lesbiens bisexual or had their on agenda, like were after my bf's .... gutted! The only male friends i have now are gay ha :D

    In my experience.....no, not really. Maybe I'm just friends with the wrong people? :devil:

    Of course I can be friends with chicks I don't want to have sex with. If I do, then NO.

    PS If I get friendzoned, I leave.

    can each of you "keep it in your pants"?

    if the answer is "yes," then you can be "just friends" with the opposite sex.

    the end.

    I'm pretty sure we can do this when it comes to other people. Neither one of us has EVER cheated (married 10 years--together 12).

    My husband is a jealous type. He seems to think it's okay for him to have girl friends, but not for me to have guy friends. He's getting used to the fact that I like guys in my life. I also do a predominantly male sport (TKD), so I'm surrounded by men on a regular basis.

    I communicate with my husband about what my guy friend and I do together and where we're going, and I've never been deceitful, so I do think it is a healthy friendship.

    Thanks for everyone's input. I'll tell my friends to bugger off!

    I'm bisexual. Does that mean I can't have any friends and I have to bang them all?

    Forever alone and a slut.

    In all honesty i do beleive so, there has to be some atraction there otherwise a friendship wouldnt exist. Something is attracting you two together to share ideas. With that said some of you obviously dont have hot enough friends.jus sayin lol

    No, someone will always get a little twinge of "I wonder..."

    I can confirm that a man and woman can have a platonic friendship. What interrupted my friendships? Their new wives/girlfriends who had a problem with how close we were.

    Can they be friends? Yes. Is a guy , we do everything from "guys" weekends to watching movies to working on cars together and never have the desire to have sex. We were asked once if we ever would and we laughed because he is more like my brother and I am more like his sister than anything and it would be super weird. Has there ever been the "I wonder" nope, we are both pretty open and honest and if there was one of us would have said something a long time ago.

    I think if you and your other half are open and honest and there is a level of trust there it will never be a problem honestly.

    You say slut like it's a bad thing. Slut is a title all of my friends strive for. All of my best friends are slults. Sluts are the only fun people around. Everyone else is boring as hell.

    True this

    Yes, absolutely.

    Those who can't were generally looking for "more" in the first place.

    I think men and women can be friends, my husband thinks otherwise and thinks every man wants me. Lucky for me he is not the jealous type.

    I am happily and for sixteen years (same partners for all that time, married to one for thirteen) polyamorous. I don't have an artificial barrier that stops me from becoming more than friends, yet I find that I can be perfect, no hint of romance anywhere, friends with women as well as men. No one would stop me from being anything else, yet...

    So, yes, men and women can be friends. Or enemies. Or frenemies. Or anything in between and above and beyond.

    Of course.
    The problem starts when you also find them sexually attractive, then it's hard.

    No. I have to bang everybody who has a penis. Cannot be just friends.

    And I have to lick everybody with a vagina. Definitely can't be just friends. It just gets too wet, I mean awkward.

    LOL best response

    I do believe MEN and WOMEN can be just friends BUT these two "friendships" won't be exactly the same. That's all and it's not something that would make one of the frienships better or worse IMO... :-)

    Pretty much always checking out your female friends tatas and your male friends package. It's a conundrum. They should just give you one free bang to take the mystery away.

    Too bad homosexual men dont like me or I could have a true friend.

    Of course they can be. Every woman I ever met has told me, "We can be friends."

    Oh and coming at this from a different angle if you get really fat and ugly the male friends suddenly disappear, so if they dont want to see you naked dont expect a friend.

    Women also do the same thing.

    Yes, but only after they have banged or realize the boundaries of friendship.
    Once they bang is out of the way, then it releases a ton of issues
    "Does that mean the sex wasn't great and you had no connection?" Absolutely not.
    Could mean just the way things are at the moment. Two different roads. Compatible sex
