Yup. Have a very good guy friend, also married. I've known him since law school, and neither of us has ever felt the inclination to cross the boundary line. It was like, ick, you kidding?? Like asking a sibling out for a date.

I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

Absolutely, yes.

My good friends count some men in it. No one among them have taken advantage of me. They respect me and they are there when I need them and vice-versa.

Wanna join me for a glass of wine?

I say yes. Men and women can have a platonic friendship. In fact I have male friends, if I have a problem I talk to them, as they do me.

Yes, 100% can. But not easy to find one, mind you.

I still have a few very best female friends, 2 are married and 1 still single.(age difference about 10-15 years). We share a lot of things like sorrows, happiness etc... We helped each other when in troubles.

We can talk about anything under the sky including sex, all in details etc.... yet neither one of us cross the boundary or given any inclinations to cross over.

I think that's extremely difficult elaine67, especially if one person still has feelings of intimacy for the other.
Say.. you break up with your bf, he's just wanting to be your friend, while u are still wanting to rip his clothes off! It's not gonna work. cuz the person who's still infatuated is going to be horribly frustrated.
But.. if you never had those feelings to begin with, then YES, i've got dozens of male friends whom i'm JUST friends with. I'd never sleep with them.
As far as women and homosexual men being friends, that's not always such an ideal situation. I've just got done with a "friendship" if you wanna call it that with a gay guy.
Not only did i have to hear in great detail all his sleazy liasons with other men, (which i found rather disgusting, to be truthful) but he'd constantly be puttign down str8 guys! It was all so annoying. I was supposed to respect his little lifestyle, but he sure couldn't respect mine as a str8 woman!
He was a horrible friend. What a fickle person he was. It was like the worst girlfriend I've ever had!! I'll never befriend another gay guy after that! Forget it.
I love men.. i would have to say that most of my friends are men, not women. I think men make better friends honestly. They aren't catty like women can be to each other. there's no reason for jealousy...or competition.. i think it's an ideal friendship.
Of course, you gotta have a male friend who's NOT wanting to get down your pants, otherwise it's gonna be weird! I've had that situation and had to end the so-called friendship. I just got tired of the guy coming on to me.
SO.. yeah.. sure men and women can make great friends! Definitely! Just don't cross the line and you're okay.
