Absolutely, I'm female and I reckon blokes make the best friends, they tend not to be bitchy and have better senses of humour (no offence fellow women).
CAN MEN AND WOMEN JUST BE "FRIENDS"?

:And yes, apparently, another option is to have sex with your "just friends" and keep it casual.
This is an excellent option as both parties can benefit equally, a "win-win" situation.

I dont think its ever win win when sex is involved. There will always be one party that wants it more than the other.
Now, form an order queue boys! (hah ah hah ah hahah hah a)

Depends on what you both require within the friendship. It is a difficult thing to navigate for some. I've had female friends who were there for nothing other than good opposite sex companionship. There was never any sexual energy exchanged, just a hug and an occasional cup of coffee.
There is a line, however, that can be crossed with other friends, it's an invisible line, but most folks know when that transference of energy has occured. We begin to incorporate romantic feelings for our opposite sex friends. It can be a very delicate bridge to cross, we are, after all, only human.
We as people, often have things that are missing in our relationships, it can be easy to slip in maintaining distance and balance with those of the opposite sex

I have had several male friends. Did any of them want to have sex with me? Sure! Well except for that one gay friend.
This one guy friend i had at one time decided to end the friendship because he liked me so much he couldn't stand hearing me talk about the guys I was dating. He was willing to ruin a perfect relationship because he couldn't control his feelings. I told him that a good friend will be there when the boyfriend fails. A good friend gets to know the whole me faster then if he dated me. We would be friends forever. Boyfriends come and go. It lasted for years untill he finally met someone that loved him and married her. I miss him.

My wife is involved in home health. (care by nurses at the persons home by scheduled visits).In this position she has noticed that many of the old folks have children who seem to care nothing for the parents.
She has also noticed that if the patient has a male or female homosexual child, that they are the ones most likely to look after their parents.
I have gotten to know a few of them and even though I was raised to despise the homosexual "life style" not the person, I find myself more accepting of them in general.
We also have a young relative girl who is homosexual and I and her get along fine.
It is amazing how much our eyes open up, once we leave the demands of a cult and make our own decisions in life and decide due to the others actions and personality and caring or not caring towards others. Not their sexuality. And no I do not have any problems having friends in both sexes of a sexual nature. Although if they are well endowed in various areas and my type, I notice and I do have feelings. But they remain with me.

Ahhh... gotta love foreign expressions that us Yanks don't get. (that's an "end stop" not a period, right?)
Does that mean "form a line"?

Prophecor - This raises an interesting point.
When we are not looking for anything because we are in a relationship that is working, there is a tendency to assume that our friends of the opposite sex feel the same.
It is only when we are looking that we suddenly realize how many of the people we met had put out signals that we had missed because we were not receptive.
Oh dear I have final made a sensible comment on this thread!
