What separates it from being friendship + sexual attraction? I have friends who I'll fool around with but wouldn't say I'm romantically involved with, but recently I realized I don't even know what that is beyond those two things lmao

Asking here instead of Reddit because I don't want R*dditors to respond

    What separates it from being friendship + sexual attraction?

    Literally nothing. The modern day notion of "LOVE", which seems to hold its own category of human behavior, interaction, and relationship, is purely liberal idealism. It exists only in our heads, and once we realize that, we can move beyond it.

    Having said that, I feel like it's important to iterate during the same sentence, that this does not remove responsibility from the equation, though. If we have sexual relations with someone, we cannot be callous and uncaring about consent, which is a broad subject unto itself.
