Men and Women Can't Be "Just Friends":
Can heterosexual men and women ever be “just friends”? Few other questions have provoked debates as intense, family dinners as awkward, literature as lurid , or movies as memorable . Still, the question remains unanswered. Daily experience suggests that non-romantic friendships between males and females are not only possible, but common--men and women live, work, and play side-by-side, and generally seem to be able to avoid spontaneously sleeping together. However, the possibility remains that this apparently platonic coexistence is merely a façade, an elaborate dance covering up countless sexual impulses bubbling just beneath the surface.
