    For the ladies here...ANY ONE of your male "friends" would, if you asked them to, sleep with you. Its true. Its just how it is.

    Not true. I have several people I can think of that either due to personality or lack of physical attractiveness, I wouldn't sleep with. Now, when I was 19... totally different story. Oh I would claim platonic desires, but secretly wanted to bang anything I could. I think it goes away with age or something.

    I think you want to bang me, but that's not a secret.

    Well, that is a given, but I wouldn't call what we have a platonic relationship. It's....messy

    I told you walk the dog morning, noon, and night so that wouldn't happen.

    This thread is slightly ridiculous. Of course men and women can be friends without being intimate......It's obviously easier if one of them is ugly......but possible regardless of the circumstances.

    I really didn't expect my post to get quite so much attention. But I agree with this statement. Any way to reduce sexual desires would make it a lot easier to maintain a platonic friendship. But it absolutely is possible.
