is it realistic to want physical but...

[catweazle]

...non-sexual contact with the opposite sex...? ie: do you think those sort of opposite se.x "buddies" friendships are doomed because one partner or other is always eventually going to want to turn it into something more serious.or do you think that its ok because we humans, like chimps, need to touch and be touched in a non sexual way...and that we cant always get that "comfort touch" from our spouse or partner.i'm sure some people reading this are more relaxed and comfortable in the physical presence of that old friend than they are with their sexual partner.now as long as that situation never crosses over the line into something else, i dont see it as being unfaithful.do you?

Contact sure is nice.

[Bumbles]

No, a man and women cant be friends without one of them wanting sex, that is just human nature....

[Flowers]

nope, I think it's okay to do that

[lukas_m_wilson]

Entirely understandable and in most circumstances, acceptable I think.

I swear to God, if you are who I wish you were, I'm halfway to Palm Bay now.

Personally..it is possible..Compartmentalise is the key word.To answer your question no..it is not unfaithful....Unfaithful is when you mindlessly cheat without conscience.
