Huh. I just accidentally found something I wrote almost three years ago, and didn't publish for some reason. Here it is -- my opinion didn't change since then

Agreed. I have always been amazed by the lack of fluidity in human relationships between friendship, romance, and sex. I always believed that friendship is the basis of all other forms personal relationships.
I also share your ideaext_687814February 6 2012, 15:27:58 UTC
The idea you write on here, was my assumption through adolescence. Only later I understood it is incompatible with the majority of people in my society. Later, I noticed that for this majority, my (and yours and the previous commentators) way of thinking is considered naive or impractical.
I wonder if one way of thinking is what humans are wired to behave by, while others are wired differently, or perhaps we are all wired the same, but are distorted by cultural standards.
I had the theory that most people, when befriending someone, put him in the "Family" block in their mind, thus enabling incest inhibitions for this person.
Perhaps what separates you from the rest is higher self-awareness?
To those who don't get it, consider the case of marriage. Even here, friendship is not only the central or uniting component, but ultimately, the most fulfiling and enduring. When, in old age, romance has become a fond and occasionally re-lived memory, and sexuality an even more remote one, it is friendship that walks hand-in-hand with love as the foundation and very structure of the kinship and companionship that constitutes the bonds that hold us in this life.
Romance and sexuality are facets of a few precious fiendships we are lucky enough to experience during our time in this life. All else is commotion and noise. I know.
