I have to admit it. I've thought long and hard about this one... I've reviewed all of my past friendships, and I honestly have to admit that I've never had a friendship with a boy that was absolutely platonic on the part of BOTH parties. There have been times when one or the other would see the other in a completely platonic light, but never both at the same time. I'll also say that this does not mean the friendship can't work, or is doomed to failure, or that somebody is going to end up cheating on someone. Its very possible to remain close friends for a long time, forever even... even with an undercurrent of sexual tension. Its possible to keep yourself under control enough to not cheat in a monogamous relationship. So, even if a full blown sexual fantasy is simmering in someone's mind about someone, a friendship can be carried on in a platonic manner, even if its not strictly platonic in every sense of the word.

I can take care of telling people to back off, but luckily my husband is good at telling them to back off too. He sort has done it with a "good natured" "hey now...back off alright" and hasn't been a problem. Luckily though, I wouldn't be friends with any guys that I thought would actually "try" something with me...cuz if they did try something knowing that it was wrong of them to do so...I wouldn't hesitate to tell them to kindly fuck off permanently. We are strictly monogamous but "play flirting" type stuff is okay since we both know we don't really want anyone else.
