making an enthusiastic, sincere jack-off motion with my hand to indicate that i agree with the present course of action and think you have thought it out well
there is so much love in friendship, people forget that
“How do you learn to share intimacy without falling in love? We would
propose that we do love our friends, whether or not we have sex with them:
these individuals are our family, often more permanent in our lives than
marriages. With practice, we can develop an intimacy based on warmth and
mutual respect, much freer than desperation, neediness, or the blind insanity
of falling in love—that’s why the relationships between “friends with benefits”
are so immensely valuable. When we acknowledge the love and respect and
appreciation that we share with lovers we would never marry, sexual
friendships can become not only possible but preferred. So while you’re
worrying that your sexual desire could cost you your best friend, the more
experienced slut could be wondering why you are the only friend they’ve never
fucked.”
