There is a cartoon (I think it appeared in the New Yorker) which shows a man and woman talking, and one of them is saying "Do you think anyone suspects we aren't sleeping with each other?" I have a girlfriend, and we lead pretty independent lives. She has some (non-romantic) male friends whom she sees occasionally, and I have some (non-romantic) female friends whom I see occasionally. In a few cases, this has involved hugging or kissing. Sometimes I have felt a desire to take things farther. I don't act on such feelings--but I think they're kind of fun! -- Dana S.
