Full Explanation Of The Term "Platonic Friendship" by Damianbes20(m): 2:08pm On May 05, 2020
A Platonic friendship is the type of friendship that is strictly non-sexual. It is a friendship that lacks Romance and sex.

The word platonic love was first used by Plato.

Anyone can be in an intimate and affectionate friendship or relationship without engaging in sexual activities.

A friendship is said to be platonic if the two friends are just friends. No form of romance is found in the relationship.

Although, at some points, they may have some kind of sexual feelings or attraction (as human-being), but they have vowed to keep the friendship platonic.

It can also be defined as a non-sexual but intimate and affectionate friendship. It can also be described as a relationship that is purely spiritual and not physical (canal).

Here are the two ways to make a platonic friendship work

How to make a Platonic Friendship Work

Platonic Friendship is Friendship with mutual understanding davoid of feeling or emotions and ambiguities like benefit.

Strictly Companionship.

I don't think intimacy of any kind should be used to describe platonic relationship. What you just described is 'friends with benefits' which is not same as platonic relationship.

If you're a guy and have a platonic female friend, you simply see her as just another guy... Or better still, a sis from another mother.

Now, that's platonic relationship.
