Reply #14: When I think about my set of friends, you're totally right [View All]

Among my straight male friends, the one that I have the almost "bromance" type friendship with is the one that I couldn't imagine having a sexual relationship with at all. Totally unattractive to me. With the others I might feel a sexual attraction to, in varying degrees, but I don't do anything about it because they're heterosexual. But the one that would be my last choice in the world for a sexual relationship - that's the guy I almost have a "bromance" with. At least he always wants to hug me and be up close to me and I oblige him, and it's kind of fun, the energy exchange.
I also had a straight friend for about 3 years (well at least he says he is, but I heard first-hand gossip about him). He and I never had a sexual relationship whatsoever, but it was amazingly close with lots of contact - always wrestling and stuff, sitting right next to each other, towards the end hugging a lot (but not kissing). He was just basking in it, and it was fun. But it never became sexual in those 3 years. He might have secretly wanted it to, and I wouldn't have stopped it, if it had, but it was just like being boyfriends, without the sex part. Weird.
