Can two friends of opposite sex talk about all the sexual stuff and yet not think sexually about each other?

Like they talk about their sex life, fantasy, weird dark secrets, their likes and dislikes in bed.
And yet they never think about each other that way.

With my male friends i sometimes joke about sex and stuff or sometime talk about sex ( not so openly) I never feel or think anything sexual about them. I wonder if it's same for them.

  • I think so, but I also usually don't have straight male friends, unfortunately. I swear the few times I have had friend (or roommate-friend) relationships with straight men after college, it has turned into a sexual attraction. But that's very few times, so not a large sample size.

    I did that with my last roommate, but we had a mutual attraction and insane chemistry/tension. Things kind of spiraled into chaos. (We didn't actually sleep together but I realized that he really wanted to) But at one point, I was just talking about sex to him the way I would with my friends - at least that's what I said. My motives weren't pure though. I had no active intention of sleeping with him, so I called it just talking. But I was also attracted to him. I don't think I realized how much it may have impacted him until after, especially when I hooked up with this one guy and he made it obvious in some ways that he definitely didn't want me to do that again.

    But it's still possible. I also think it's okay to have the occasional sexual thought and that doesn't mean someone is only friends with you for the potential to have sex.

  • Of course. I had females friends. They had no filter and they even trust me keeping their secrets or even mines. One of them when we use to hang alone, she will go deeply conversations.

    The only reason everyone part away they end up in relationships. They brought a new friend that converted into my ex girlfriend that only lasted 5 months. Everything was running so well until her damn parents started to get into our relationship. I felt I was dating her parents. The spice was cooling off, we broke up. Since 2014 remained single.

    Recently, in 2019 my friend calls me unexpectedly. All she said she missed me and wishes to be single not married. She has a kid now. Her man is a jealousy person. After that call she hasn't call me.

    Ooooooh I forgot 🤦‍♂️ one friend 😂 yeah that one turn into sex and then was sexual mostly every hang out. It lasted for almost 6-7 months. Then we cool off. Later she calls me again but I was with my ex and she respect it. Later she got into a relationship. When I broke up with my ex some how my friend knew and calls me to nail her. I was like eh no you have a man i will never mess around in relationships. Then she got married in her bachelor she calls me and want me for one more time to shake her body. I am like 🤣😆😂. I am sorry. 🤷‍♂️. I swear they way she sounded on the phone she probably was drunk 😂 "shake my body papi" I am glad was not a video call🤣.

  • Only time man and woman can ever be “just friends” is one of these two situations:


    1. The man or woman or both are not attracted to the other. Completely unattracted. Like they wouldn’t date anyone that was like each other.


    2. The man or woman is bound by honor not to engage. This could be that she is the ex of a friend of his, or being related, or being in a committed relationship; But for some reason they are forbidden by a code to engage.


    If one of the two are true, it will never happen. If neither are true, it’s just a matter of time.

  • If they have testosterone in their bodies, then, no, that's not possible unless the woman is completely unattractive to them - but in that case, such a conversation is unlikely in the first place. So... no.

    Men are NOT woman, and men generally see anything and everything related to women through a sexual lens. That's just how it is. Women can be platonic friends, but most (single) men cannot, even if they're good at faking it.

  • In all honesty, I talk more openly about sexual things with friends from the opposite gender than with fiends of my own, it’s nice to be able to talk openly about it, even in a platonic context.

    I have a lesbian couple as friends, I identify as male and heterosexual, still remember discussing our respective wank bank with one of the two in an almost natural fashion...

    Was nice to be able to do that.

  • Yes, that's perfectly fine, I mean, why not?

    But beware, guys normally start anticipating things further.. just a natural phenomenon as this seems as a 'ray of hope', even if they know it's just a casual talk and nothing more. 😂😂😂😂
    You know what I mean, right?

  • Yes I see it every day at work between employee's

  • If the people are heterosexual and have a reasonable appearance, I'd say it's almost impossible for them to avoid picturing their opposite-gender interlocutor doing some of the things you are talking about. It would be naive to think the sex talk is purely academic and doesn't conjure any curiosity about the other person, even if they had no interest in them as a partner. Sooner or later, they'll think that they would like to try some of the things on you that you were discussing. That doesn't mean that they would, but the fantasy or mental picture crosses their mind.

    But thoughts flit around. Fantasies might cross our minds briefly. They don't necessarily become obsessions. So I'd say that, although such fantasies might occur, it doesn't mean that friends can't safely engage in discussion about sexuality.

  • Yup. My best friend and I talk about sex quite often, but definitely don't want to have sex with each other.

  • If you are talking about sexual things with someone who is appealing, your mind will wander to thoughts of each other sexually.

  • Yes they can and to be doing that with each other with a smile is hot I have a couple of friends that are girls and I have had little get together at my house and they are always the last to leave and some how sex comes up and there desires lol , I guess it's been over a year now since our last time we talked like that this covid crap has to end lol

  • Sometimes, at first, but the more you share, and the closer you are, with the personal intimacy, the easier it is to cross over into sexual/physical intimacy, and destroy the friendship, if you are both hetero, and single, maybe?
    It only worked with a few friends of mine that were either married, or gay. For me, that is "OFF LIMITS" and I never want to get between two lovers!

  • Ya that’s fine

  • I never talked to any male but yeah with girl friends I do mostly

  • Eventually. I think the first time they have any such conversation it will be on at least one of their minds pretty much the whole time. But everyone acclimatizes eventually.

  • Why do you have your bum hole in your profile picks?

    • Yeah, what she said. About your profile photograph :)

  • It’s possible BUT unlikely. If the two people are attractive you can bet the dude is still thinking about the girl in his mind.

  • my oldest female friend and i often talk about stuff like that

  • It's possible, but I'm sure for the guy it has at least crossed his mind a time or two. Doesn't mean he's ever going to act on it or anything, but I'm sure the thought has been there. And maybe for you? I mean, you must have at least once to ask this question? ;)

  • Yeah I think thats possible. I dont know thay its their buissness to know all sorts of sexual stuff about you, but thats not your question and not my buissness either.

  • Yeah I do

  • I regularly talk about that stuff with friends, both guys and girls. I still have no urge to have sex with any of them

  • I agree with you. But guys get horny when we talk about stuff like that with them.

    • That's right we do, sex talk arouses us quickly.
