Learn what love is between a man and a woman. Your sexuality is beyond your body. People are so behind in evolution.

I think it is time that the platonic friendship debate concludes. Platonic relations can indeed occur between man and wife or a hetero man and a hetero woman, platonic love between a man and woman is as romantic as physical love (or lust as this can be called by some). Both are romantic loves or attractions. Between men and women it is a state of flirtation. Flirtation is not always sexual. Maybe to the immature mind it is. One must understand the balance that makes a relationship work. Ignorance will only cloud one’s judgment and views. Platonic love does exist but it is widely misunderstood. Like sex, one can have multiple partners if one so chooses. Romance is a delicate balance of physical love and platonic love. Love based on merely sex is clearly not a mature love. The balance may vary but the romance is still there. Platonic love between a man and a woman vastly differs from platonic love between a parent and a child or platonic love between a human and it’s pet(s). Boundaries between a man and a woman are very delicate. Humanity is imperfect. We are all responsible for our own actions, decisions and beliefs and values and therefore our own consequences as well. We all want different things. It is important to clarify what platonic love is between man and woman(hetero) and the importance of clarification. A happy and successful relationship can be defined by its balance of platonic and physical love. After all it may prove to be difficult to find happiness and a strong connection with your partner if that friendship is not there. I will not touch on boundaries. Life is boundless if one so chooses it to be. I will not touch on the difference between right and wrong either. People make mistakes, some learn from them, some donâ€™t and some donâ€™t want to. People will do as they please. As I have said above people want different things and value different things. My purpose here is to clarify what platonic love truly is. It is a beautiful thing when completely understood. People will define boundaries according to their values and personal moral. Rather than debate one must educate them selves and be honest with them selves. A closed mind is not a mind open to truth and wisdom. Truth and wisdom will bring one to true enlightenment and a clear peace of mind. Sometimes in life one has to explore to find answers. One must under stand that truth may be spoken and maybe unspoken, seen or unseen. Mistakes do happen. Some risks are worth taking and some are not worth taking. Propaganda and mis-information closes the minds of many. How can one evolve as a person with a closed mind and the acceptance of reality? How can one be true with a partner if they are not truthful with self?

Platonic (respectful) relationships are a great way to explore just what is attractive(other than the physical aspects) in the opposite sex and how one likes to be treated by the opposite sex. Like any other experience we learn from them. Platonic relationships are intimate emotionally for one or both people involved. It involves emotions between a man and a woman, sexual entities designed by or nature to be together. Platonic qualities are best described as qualities one may like to find in the member of the opposite sex other than physical sexual attributes. For this reason it is therefore a sexual relationship in development. Platonic relationships generally focus on the friendship and respect aspects of a relationship first. The relationship may or may not yet be determined but is clearly a relationship that is more than just friends. It involves a man and a woman (hetero) exploring what they like or love about each other being members of the opposite sex. Platonic partners find particular things they appreciate about each other being the opposite sex. Platonic friendships as they are called are a mature way of finding and/or â€œdevelopingâ€ a possible successful relationship. One partner may feel more than the other partner. The Platonic Idea is meant to bring a man and a woman closer together on the emotional level of our relationships with the opposite sex.

plutonic relationship.. confusing, frustrating, time consuming, exhausting but by far the best thing to have ever happend to those lucky enough to experience it.. this type of friendship is very hard to explain, alot of different openion up there and all by far valid!! my only advice is that you be honest with one another, if you happend to devolope feelings then do not be ashamed to admit them for it can be a friendship killer!!

@Niel – Friendship is always a possibility after you’ve broken up with someone. You were with them because you were good together – You basically clicked, got on, etc. But, friendship is hard AFTER because of all the history and possible feelings. It all depends on the circumstances of the breakup and where each person is going. The ex and I tried really hard to be friends, and good friends, but we talk every few weeks or so. It’s not as easy as it sounds.

What Brendon and Michael said are the truth. Men don’t initially pursue platonic friendships with women. It’s just not in our nature.

I think it’s silly when relationships end sexually, the platonic one dies as well. It shouldn’t be like that. The worst thing is having the “she might not be friends anymore after we break up” fear. It is viable fear, but again, if you we’re truly good friends, then it shouldn’t happen be that way.

What Michael said, is also true, you never know until you try.
