Does sexual tension exist between best friends?

[anon1903]

Not all best friends experience that I know. But I just want to know why if yes (even if the percent of friends are like 0.99% lol)

[Asdfgary99]

i think so. but then my current best friend actually became my absolute best friend after we'd been sleeping together. before we were good friends and to people that liked each other a bit. now we are each others best friends, but the issue is I like him way too much now to not get hurt. ultimately our friendship is still most important to both of us though which is why it hasn't developed further.

If they are attracted to each other and develop strong feelings then yes it can. The problem is that it can ruin the friendship if it's not mutual or no one in that party does anything about it. The tension can grow until somebody gets hurt when somebody outside of that group starts liking somebody else. It's best to be honest with each other before it gets worse.

[Cynicaldreamer]

Nope. At least not always.

I've had several guy friends over the years, had a few I had crushes on or tried to date. But the rest? Just platonic friends with no sexual interest.

Some people can be just friends and nothing more; you just have to establish a boundary off the bat that you're just friends and nothing more.

[RaessiMcroft]

It does! At least in my case. My best friend was even oblivious about it as he send me some explicit messages with pictures and all. We haven't done anything (yet) but who knows...~

I had a female best friend for several years and there wasn't any sexual tension with us - at least that I'm aware of. We just enjoyed being together and talking with each other. Neither of us ever tried to cross the line from friendship to romance or anything sexual. I know a lot of people say that's not possible but she and I have proven that it is (and I know other people that have also).

[Lance1965]

I have never experienced any of that with my female friends despite being very attracted to one of them. Some men can shut those feelings off but many can't. This is part of the reason so many men spew out the "women can't be best friends" line. Of course that isn't true at all.

[Thatsamazing]

No, because if it's there, they aren't actually truly "just friends" at all in the first place. Boys and girls can't be just friends, truly platonically, if the guy is physically attracted to the girl. Because deep down, he'll always want to fuck her, and would, if he got the chance and the situation was right. And that's not friendship-- you don't fuck your friends.

im always gay with my best friends we even hold hands lol

[derek2017]

im just joking but we sometimes pretend to be gay in order to laugh with people looking at us weird lol*

[anon1903]

😂😂😂

[anon1903]

imao gay couples are freaking cute

[ravagesavage]

Yeah, but it's certainly a line that shouldn't be crossed... If you truly value that friendship.

[EmotionOfFear]

Best response.

[Asdfgary99]

wish I read this months ago haha

[Eleni91]

Sure and can just be friends I don’t do things with my best friend but that’s because i see her like a sister.

[bklynbadboy1]

Absolutely it does cause you can like your friend but be scared to take it a step further for fear of destroying the friendship

[Gedaria]

It can happen, but it can be construed of just being a close friend...

[Tinko223306]

Girl / Guy friends can exist, but at some point of time either the girl or the guy will have feelings towards the other one

[Katie_15899]

My best friend and I don't have any sexual tension between us and we hang out all the time

[Pinay_ako]

of course especially if the attraction is strong!

[BlackDawn]

Between me and mine, oh hell yeah

[AkshiJanjua]

i don't think so i would think of her as a sister

[ghostqueen]

[Andy1994]

[Subie]
