Can guys and girls be just friends?

I would disagree about the "you can't have friends that are hot" comment.

I have a ton of friends that are girls and most of them are very attractive. If it was possible I would hit up like 80% of them. Their unwillingness to have sex with me holds me back.

I love how people make these blanket statements about what people absolutely cannot do based on a sample size of 1.

I never said it was written in stone. I think it's pretty common knowledge that men have a hard time with it and women generally don't.

That sounds pretty definitive to me.

This is so un- founded.

Society likes to put up the impression that women have better sexual control than men, and to counter- act this argument, I would like to state a study.

A male and a female was hooked up with sensors on their genitals and head. They were asked to watch several porns: male- female; female- female; male- male; animal- human; animal- animal (not porn, I know)

As was "expected" the male admitted being turned on my the straight and lesbian porns, and the microbes confirmed this. The woman said that she was turned on only by the straight porn, but the microbes told a different story. She was actually turned on by all the sex, even the bestiality and the animal sex.

Since your a woman, explain this for me.

This does flow over into life, as well, I have met (and roomed up with) more than one woman who said there was "nothing" sexual, they belonged to such and such, etc, but oddly, she made it plainly obvious that she liked me. Just her blatant words and denial is what stopped me.

I believe that it is possible for men and women to be just friends, and although I have tried this more than once, I have yet to find proof.

ETC: I have several freinds who tried this and they have found that sex inherently got in the way, and I do have a few gay friends who said the same thing about their friendships with women.

I'm friends with a few attractive girls and it's never been a problem. Neither with single girls or girls with boyfriends (or boys with boyfriends for that matter). I have a girlfriend and we are in a very healthy relationship.

I think that makes all the differance. Before we were together I don't think I could be friends with girls because of the attraction. Now there is no attraction because I've found my mate. But I have a very low sex drive in comparison to everyone I know, so maybe that's it.

Anyone who disagrees with this is absolutely full of it. Imagine you are very hungry and your job is to deliver pizza. You understand that you are not allowed to eat the pizza, even though in theory you could, it is just not worth it. That's why you don't. If a miracle happened and for some reason the pizza became yours you would certainly bite the crap out of it.

As a delivery boy, this taunts me almost every day.

I am sure you have all had discussions about this. I have had many.

I don't want to share my thoughts just yet, but give me some strong arguments as the the way you believe.

Yes, but only if neither one has any interest in having sex with the other one.
