Asexual Relationships at Bowdoin?

<p>To the OP I suggest they watch the movie When Harry Met Sally, where all will be revealed. I apologize in advance if this violates any copyright laws or terms of service for this site…</p>

<p>Harry Burns: You realize of course that we could never be friends. </p>

<p>Sally Albright: Why not? </p>

<p>Harry Burns: What I’m saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form - is that men and women can’t be friends because the sex part always gets in the way. </p>

<p>Sally Albright: That’s not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved. </p>

<p>Harry Burns: No you don’t. </p>

<p>Sally Albright: Yes I do. </p>

<p>Harry Burns: No you don’t. </p>

<p>Sally Albright: Yes I do. </p>

<p>Harry Burns: You only think you do. </p>

<p>Sally Albright: You say I’m having sex with these men without my knowledge? </p>

<p>Harry Burns: No, what I’m saying is they all WANT to have sex with you. </p>

<p>Sally Albright: They do not. </p>

<p>Harry Burns: Do too. </p>

<p>Sally Albright: They do not. </p>

<p>Harry Burns: Do too. </p>

<p>Sally Albright: How do you know? </p>

<p>Harry Burns: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her. </p>

<p>Sally Albright: So, you’re saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive? </p>

<p>Harry Burns: No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too. </p>

<p>Sally Albright: What if THEY don’t want to have sex with YOU? </p>

<p>Harry Burns: Doesn’t matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story. </p>

<p>Sally Albright: Well, I guess we’re not going to be friends then. </p>

<p>Harry Burns: I guess not. </p>

<p>Sally Albright: That’s too bad. You were the only person I knew in New York.</p>
