Have you siblings? It would be interesting to hear about your relationships... And don't forget to talk about your mother and father.
Oh, yeah, one question: have you heard about Oedipus?

Yes.

While I admit there's always a tiny part of me that is looking to my female friends through a sexual prism (and for some of them, not only tiny) - there are also two female friends - BEST female friends - who are just friends. They're both of my age, intelligent and attractive. We are sharing our intimate stories a good deal, talking about death, fears, happiness, finances, sex (in depth, describing particular orgasms, kinky stuff, and so on). I never imagined myself in sexual interaction with them (except as a gedankenexperiment, bith with zero arousal).

On of them, who doesn't hesitate to say what she think, summed it up nicely: "  I can't f*ck Moris. He's like my brother."

Try 'biological' for starters, the rest is denial.

Depends on who the woman is.  I would have a very hard time being "just friends" with this particular person:

yeah... I met some really ugly and boring persons that always have a different girlfriend, so there's no "undateable", but if you don't let down the cowbell, dang... how can you ask her for her phone number...??? Angry

Plainview finally reveals an actual self-portrait. Big smile
 
 
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Perceptive post certainly. Paddy McAloon of Prefab Sprout expressed this best:

But I don't know how to describe the Modern Rose,
When I can't refer to her shape against her clothes.
With the fever of purple prose.

I am never "one the prowl".

I honestly can't think of a time I was "on the prowl". Maybe I'm not trying hard enough? Or maybe I don't care enough.

It's the banging on the cowbell thing, isn't it? LOL

"On the prowl"? That sounds.... disquieting...
I still prefer "horny": it doesn't turn women into "preys".

Speaking as a male, I'm not entirely certain. LOL

I mean, I'm always pretty much horny unless I am really tired.

It's funny, when you throw in the whole heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, marriage thing, as long as people respect one another and are mature and not on the prowl, so to speak, the answer is yes.

I can be only friend or collegue with women: I offered to co-worker to go at the museum on a saturday (I live in Paris) but she never called back...
And since my favorite woman is lesbian, it might happen that I would be nothing but friend with any woman I could encounter.

A related item to my previous post, sexual rivalry can insinuate even into the strongest friendships ever. (Thinking of this pack of male teenage "friends" I was watching at a game last night, and how their behavior changed when a female entered.)

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.
