oh baby, not for me, we gonna smash, but I suspect some people simply want a platonic relationship with Gretchen, because love and lust are separate, and some people want one and others want both for friendship and/or relationships to varying degrees
Think about it like this: you probably lust...
I think love and lust are independent. My dick may wanna smash sally and ladies in the porns, but I only love Gretchen Carlson from the Fox News Channel.
I really like a lot of ZD friends I've got.
Platonic relationships exist.
Platonic friendships exist.
Platonic turkey relationships exist.
@Lozjam clean your room.
@Deus denotative definitions just describe generally agreed usages, such as our Merriam dictionary denoting lack of romance as platonic, but meanings and concepts we get from meanings really capture my interest.
- I believe one can have a relationship without sexual thoughts for their partner...
@Deus a platonic relationship is simply a relationship without sexual feeling and/or action. Perhaps the couple is very asexual? This is radically opposite of my desire, but I acknowledge its existence.
