"To deny the sexual dynamics of friendship, whether or not romance is involved, is to court disaster. Sexual desire demands its due, and while acknowledged sexuality calls our attention to the ways we are drawn to 'otherness' and ultimately God, unacknowledged sexuality is famous for exploding under the covers."
Kenda Creasy Dean


Unacknowledged to whom? Ourselves? Before God who knows everything anyway? Our cross-gender friend? Just wondering.

Hi Karin,
I think it depends upon the context and intensity. If you are a single, I don't think it applies as much as when you are married. If there is a rather strong attraction, I think ideally you should be transparent with your spouse, another friend and depending upon the circumstances, your cgf. That's the ideal thing--to get attraction onto the table.
