Is monogamy possible between male and female friends? I wanted to get some input from others about this subject. I have several male friends for well over 20 years that appears to be changing. Sex between myself and my male counterparts has never been an issue until recently. I have a great deal of emotional attachment to my friends but why can't it stay that way without the question of sex or a relationship out of the friendship?
This has become a problem in my life since two of my male counterparts have expressed a great deal of sexual tension. This is only on their parts, not mine. But, why? Why all of a sudden after 20 years has this become an issue and now this is jeopardizing our close friendships. We both have open friendships and talk about everything but now he expresses anger over his feelings for me. How do you straighten this out without losing a friend but not engaging either? Is it truly impossible to have male/female friendships?
