Search Results: we almost had sex

If sex and dating was completely not an option/impossible among all those involved and everyone just treated each other platonically, do you think boys and men would get along better with girls and women? I use "males and females" because I'm talking about both boys and girls, among men and women.

I'm a teacher and although I notice boys and girls almost always sit apart from each other (usually, all the boys on the left of the class, and all the girls on the right side), they still generally get along with each other and don't have any animosity or issues that modern adult men and women have. I've taught in three different academies here in Korea over the course of two years, and this remains consistent throughout every class, unless it's all boys or all girls. Although I think some subconscious things keep the boys and girls separated, they still can peacefully co-exist with each other in a way that modern men and women don't seem to do.

In short, boys and girls under the age of 14 seem to get along MUCH better than adult men and women do.

So it's really fascinating. I think sex and post-puberty changes how males and females interact with each other, and causes the sexes to find even less in common with each other and harder to relate. I myself certainly don't understand why women behave the way they do (often, negatively).

But what do you think?
