Is it a good idea for opposite s*x friends to spent alone time together?

Question

Some people believe that they should hang out in public because if they spend alone time together it leads to s*x.

Is it true?

Answer 1

it only leads to s*x if both of them want it too. im a guy, def. straight, and my absolute best friends have always been girls. i dont know why really, its just worked out.  but looking back on it, the best friends that i have had all started out as girlfriends, and had on and off relationships w/ them.  but you can hang out w/ a girl in private and have it not lead to s*x if you dont want it too

Answer 2

It will only lead to s*x, if you consent to the s*x.

Answer 3

it could be true for opposite s*x friends that like eachother, but if you don't have any feelings for each other than i don't see how that is a problem

Answer 4

What does this have to do with weddings?  That being said...

Two friends of either s*x should be able to hang out where ever and not have s*x.  If there are other emotions and such going on, they should still be able to control themselves.

Answer 5

my best friend for about 17 years is the opposite s*x, we spend plenty of time alone together in each others rooms etc and have done since we first met and guess what...

we DIDN'T fall into bed

we DIDN't have s*x

and we most certainly WOULDN'T think about it.

g**s and gals can be friends and its ridiculous ppl think otherwise

Answer 6

It only leads to s*x if you let it. I've had plenty of opposite s*x friends who I've never slept with. That is why you call them "friends" and not "lovers."

Answer 7

Depends. If either one of you are married/in a relationship, BE CAREFUL. It doesn't always lead to s*x. But sometimes an attraction might form. A friend of mine who is 21 has had a guy friend (who is not g*y) for years and he sleeps over at her house and they hang out all the time and they have NEVER had any problems. I have a close guy friend. A while ago we had a situation where we made out once or twice and thought there was something there. We stopped ourselves from taking it further than that emotionally or physically. After a couple of awkward months we are now back to our normal selves. don't hang out as much now, before all of that happened.

Answer 8

I was "just friends" with a man for over 15 years we spent time together in public and alone, I don't think it matters, if you are platonic friends then who cares, if you on the other hand have conflicting feelings and are only friends due to circumstances that you do not wish to change, then I would say limit temptation, beyond that.. a friend is a friend regardless of gender.

Answer 9

I have a feeling that there's more to this question than it appears. Is this guy married? In that case, NO!

Answer 10

If you two are pureply platonic, no.

That's just an excuse people use for lack of control.

Answer 11

We have control over our own actions.

Even if you have the desire to have s*x with that person, you can still control your actions.

Answer 12

its hard to justify as there are many who is ethically and responsible enough to draw a line BUT the key thing is when they get together for good no. of times, its hard not to fall into FEELINGS for each other (unless both is very clear from start they are just friends). thus for myself unless i am very sure they are just like sister (elder) to me, i will tend not to do so esp. since i got gf now.
