Does platonic spooning exist?

I think so, as long as there are no romantic undertones.

Sometimes, one just needs to be held.

As A guy, I'd have to say no.

When I was single, I spooned a few female friends who I knew nothing would happen with, so it wasn't a foray into anything further. That said, I did have crushes on them, and had a general attitude of "well, I'm not going to hook up with them, so I'll take what I can get here." And now that I'm taken, I wouldn't think of doing it.

So that all comes back to the question posed a thousand times in my life: Can a male and a female truly be platonic? Even if it ends up being completely platonic, isn't it usually innitiated because one is interested in the other in a knocking boots way?

I think it's pretty much inevitable there will be at least some sexual tension between a straight man and a straight women who happen to become good friends.

I'm not going to say that I have had a crush on every female friend I have ever had. But those who I didn't have crushes on were generally people who I..

A. Was feeling out if they were interested in me / if it was heading into a date-type situation.

B. Once a friendship was established, wouldn't think about taking it to another level, because hooking up wouldn't be worth losing it. That said, if guaranteed no strings attached sexin was available, I wouldn't complain.

But I'm not very outgoing, so I can't speak for all dudes when it comes to this.
