Funny you asked this question.  This is a constant issue with me.  I have male friends that my boyfriend is a little jelous of but trust me, they could never replace him.  My bf has female friends that I'm not threatened by anymore, but there was a time.  As far as my boyfriend and I, I say that opposite sex friends are perfectly alright as long as the couple knows where to draw the line and the "friends" and couple know not to cross it.

Ask yourself how you would feel if your wife was admiring the bulge in another mans pants while out with you.  It is not wrong to LOOK at another woman or admire another body part BUT damnit you dont do this while with your mate.  Its respectful.

I actually said the same thing about my husband.  Around me he is totally different then when he is with his friends.  I finally just asked my husband what the deal was.  He looked at my puzzled, and replied that of course he acts differently around me.  I couldn't understand it.  He told me that the way he acts with me is how he wants me to see him.  The way he loves me.  The way he acts with his friends is just being one of the guys.   I told him that he cusses, drinks when he's with his friends but not around me.  He said he respected me to much to act that way with me.  Its a guy thing.  I've learned to live with it.

I think it's great you two have such a close and trusting relationship. It's definitely not for every couple, but you are obviously not the only ones out there. Make sure both partners are comfortable and listen to one another.... Have at it, be careful of std's and such....Wow such trust you guys have.

I'm a guy and I don't stay "friends" with my exes.  As Sam Kinnison put it "Oh, friends, like some kind of emotional tampon, only without the sex".\nNot trying to be crude, ladies.  I'll be pleasant if I see them on the street, but I won't ask them for coffee so we can "catch up" on each other's lives.

If you are asking concerning friends of the same sex, I really don't see a problem with that based on all the aspect you mentioned, but if it is with the opposite sex I don't think its advisable concerning the physical aspect, in the sense that you are both good friends why jeopardize your friendship? Because its only if ink runs in your veins, you have lost your sense of sight and you are dead to all physical contact that nothing will happen between the two of you.\n\nAside from this if you both go that deep and you don't end up getting married to each other, you would loose respect for one another.\n\nIn the emotional aspect, ladies have been endowed with the capability of reaching men better. They are like mothers to us. They are ready to comfort you and listen to you, they share your burden with you some go to the extent of carrying the whole thing as if it was theirs.\nAnyway this is not the case with emotional ladies seeking a guy to comfort them this often ends up in something else.\n\nThe mental aspect I think both sex are OK and can handle the situation depending on the type of response and reasoning you want.

To be honest, I think its really healthy for both people in a relationship to be able to communicate with people of the opposite sex.  As long as you know they're going home with you or that you'll see them again tomorrow, the rest doesn't matter.  To me it is the mark of a great relationship when you can truly let each other have the space you need.

Aah classic commitment phobia. Your both so scared of being vunerable and saying you want to be with each other that you're pretending it's ok to see other people. What you need to ask yourself is this? Is this really the type of future relationship you want, with two people not able to say how they feel. Either become a couple or leave each other alone. Believe me i've been in a situation like this and no matter how cool and trendy you think you're both being a relationship goes no where, without some honesty.

I'm straight, but I love the story of how my best friend came out to me, if you'll listen. I was the first person she ever told. We went for a walk (for no "apparent" reason) and she had me sit down with her on an empty bench in the hotel near where we were living. She started talking, talking in circles, dropping hints and getting really upset. I was so worried about her. I wasn't sure what it was, but I knew it was something sexual. Was she raped? Was she pregnant? If she had been raped, I would break the guy's face, but she wasn't the type to get pregnant. Then it clicked in my head. I asked her if it was ok for me to guess what she was trying to tell me, and she nodded. I asked if she was trying to come out to me, and she didn't move. I asked again, and she nodded. I hugged her so tight! I told her how relieved I was, how I thought something bad had happened. She told me how she had been keeping it hidden for so long, and if she hadn't come out to me, she never would have. We're so close now, I go around calling her my sister. The one problem is that we both like the same type of girl, so if there's a nice bi girl we both like, there may be a discussion... ;P

I have several female friends and I am married..there is nothing wrong with being friends with the opposite sex,in fact it helps you to get their views on things..specially relationships..ignore the people that make the gay remarks they are shallow..just remember you can never have enough friends..and I am sure she is more of a friend than the ones calling you names

HELL NO, Do you want another guy touching your lady? I wouldn't. What the hell is up with people these days over the 3 sums? I like it with me and my partner and NOONE else. But that is up to you. You have to live with the fact that your g/f wants to be with another man. What if she like it or him? Will you be willing to have another? I dont

Well, that depends on if my "friend" was a male or female.  I'm a bi sexual woman, and my boyfriend doesn't have any issues with me hooking up with girls while he's gone, but he does have some issues with men.  \nThe bottom line is this:  I would never do anything to hurt my boyfriend or betray his trust.  If you're in an honest, open, mature, loving relationship, you have no reason to stray.

I disagree.  Men and women complement each other well.\n\nThere is a time whenever you just want companionship...look at all of the older couples sitting on their front porches.  I doubt they engage in any sexual activities, but they still love each other.

My husband is the same way but it is normal as long as you don't over react on the situation. For some mean it's a control issue and for others it's a love issue. My husband always told me it's because he loved me so much but he didn't mind me talking to other guys as long as that's as far as it went. the hanging out is ok but make sure she invites you to go along if she's asked that will tell you everything. Hope this helps

No not at all, I went through this same thing a couple of years ago a male frined and I both came outta long, serious relationships about the same time and were feeling quite down and bruised by the whole thing and ended up being together alot of the time talking about it and of course one thing led to another and we eventually slept together and it just became a habit (I know that sounds awful!!) but neither of us could face another relationship at that time and we aren't into one night stands so we'd just hook up have the best laugh and then enjoy great sex before saying goodbye in the morning with no pressure it was ideal, it went on for about two yeras until we both just met people we wanted to be with and then it fizzled out but we're still the best of friends now (purely platonic!!) so it worked out fine.  The only thing I'd watch out for is that you both understand the situation if one person has feelings that the other dosen't have then it will cause problems and you shouldn't do it but if you both know it's just sex cos you have needs then go for it.  Good Luck!!

This is completely normal ...both straight men and women enjoy this.. It is important to be open and honest about your likes & dislikes with your partner in order to have a great sex life.

No.  As long as they weren't being offensive in what they said when gossiping to others about what they believed my sexuality to be.  Most of my Friends are pretty straight shooters.  We try to not gossip over much about things concerning the group.  We tend to circle the wagons.  if she or he WERE malicious in their commentary, I would be offended by the way they talked.  Not by what they said.  And no...I'm not gay.  I'm Italian and Irish.  Very passionate people.  We do alot of hugging.  Way touchy feely races of people I come from.  Could be mis-construed.  I've had a number of gay woman come on to me.  lol   I take it as compliment, but don't take them up on the offer.  :)
