There is a thread in the "Ask a Straight Man" section that asks: can a straight man make an honest friendship with gay men?"
First I think the same question can be fairly asked to straight women ( and gay women too, I think) Can you have an honest friendship with gay women?
And, similarily, and more importantly: can you have honest, strictly friendship with straight men?!
I decided to post these questions here, because I believe it's a more of a general human question: Can there be "friendship" where there is some sexual interest (or potential at least) from one side (or both sides in case of gay-gay friendship)? How would any sexual interest affect this friendship on both sides?
I know several issues can be discussed here, it's more of a complex issue. friends with benefits? and how is that kind of relationship different from normal sex partners? would it offend you to know that a male friend of yours (or a gay woman friend) thought of you sexually and just accepted the idea of friendship waiting for the door to open someday?! do you think that straight men can shut down their sexual interest and keep it purely friendship with you?!
Just give the women perspective on the issue in general, or any specific part as you please.
