I think you can. I have male friends that I don't think about "that" when I talk to them. For me it's nice to talk to someone that is honest ( most men are very straight forward) & will give me there opinion. So yes, i think you can be friends with the opposite sex with out thinking about "that". Good question horny.

Absolutely- men and women can be friends and just friends! I've been IMing a lady who lives about 30/40 miles from me, for almost 11 years now. We met online! We are the quintessential male/female friendship 'couple'! We IM almost every night for about an hour! So, yes- it's quite possible to be just friends!

of coarse you can, but more often than not the guy in the relationship is hoping for his one shot. and the whole time she thinks nothing of it. face it, it's instincts.

Don't you just hate it when someone answers a question with a question?
Aren't we friends, Alex?  
Yes, it's very possible. I have a few very close male friends and that's all there is to it...Friendship. No attractions, no desires, no crushes. Just someone I enjoy talking with, spending time with and/or fixing things together.

Sure, it's possible. I think the feelings are still there, they are just dormant feelings though.

Sure men and women can be friends, so long as the woman knows that the man is probably always thinking about "tapping that".
I only have one female friend whom I don't have any intimate feelings for- my roommate. All others I would at least want to see naked.

Sure they can, unless the guy has a jealous wife who thinks something is going on that is not.

Most of my friends are dudes.. and that's just simple factitis right there.. I was never one for being all girly and stuff. I wanna talk about things that are important, not what designer do you wear and how high are your heels. I'd rather hear about the difference between your .357 and your 9mm and which you think would tear a radiator to bits faster, a broken fan blade or your wife's homemade chili.

It seems like the overwhelming answer is 'yes'. I have female friends, so I have to put myself in the yes column. It seems like a lot of the women who posted mentioned how they had male friends that they weren't attracted to, or that they had never thought about having sex with. I wonder if women find it easier to be friends with men they aren't attracted to, or if they have male friends they are attracted to.

I know this blog is a few days old, but I wanted to comment. My best friend for the last 8 years has been a male. I can tell him anything even if I did something stupid or messed up. He listens to me and never tries to tell me what to do and he never judges me. He has never once hit on me or even made any comments. He is also friends with my husband and my kids adore him. If I need to talk about anything, if I'm upset, hurt, angry, having a panic attack, anything I can call him anytime. I live further away from him now and don't get to go out to dinner or hang out at a bar or a strip club anymore with him but we talk daily and I would be lost without him. I truly love my best friend and don't think of him that way. He treats me and my family like his own family. He is more like an older brother.

Absolutely positively they can. I think it's harder for younger people to maintain friendships (I say this because of past experiences). If you are mature enough to not let other feelings get in the way, then of course.....it's nice to have male friends and not just female friends.
