ORIGINAL: DavanKael However, I am very dubious that making out with someone you love can be construed as a non-sexual act. How is it possible not to get turned on in that situaltion? Anyway, wanted hear from woman - especially bi on this topic. Can you be in a loving relationship with a female friend, make out, maybe even shower together and have that not turn you on and therefore not be sexual? It sounds crazy to me, but I have testosterone and a penis and feel the need to double check. Okies, I am bi, and have been in a D/s relationship with another woman for 15 years. Here's my answer to your question. It has nothing really to do with being bi or lesbian. Or with being "in love", whatever that means to the girl in question. I'm still creeped out by the description the OP used in the first post of the emotion as "sister love". My sister is kinky and bi-flexible, but eeeww, I am so not having any sexual thoughts or actions that include her!!!! You don't screw your sister. Eeew. There is a difference between cuddling and foreplay. "Making out" is foreplay, it's a prelude to sex. The way some kids use "making out" these days it can also mean "any sexual act in which a penis is not inserted into a vagina". "Making out" by any definition is sexual. Cuddling, which I'd define as being stuff like non-sexual massage, hugging, sitting or lying wrapped around one another (but no dry humping!) is not necessarily sexual but can certainly shade into foreplay. In general, women are not as visually wired as men. So being naked in the shower isn't sexual. I can wash another person's back and have that not be sexual. But if the soapy goodness is including breasts, genitals, nipples... it's sexual. I can be in a very deeply emptional loving relationship with another woman that is non-sexual. I have a dear friend who was my college roomie that I love like a sister but never any overtones of sexual love in there. If I'd ever found myself making out with her, that would totally have changed the dynamic and made it sexual... not that this was or ever will be a possibility in our relationship. But just seeing her naked or even helping her scrub the peeling sunburn in the shower was never sexual. Neither was hugging. We were never into cuddling either. None of this is really the point though. When you are in a committed relationship, vanilla or kink, and what you are doing makes your partner this profoundly uncomfortable, then the relationship has problems. I still think WildThought should DTMFA, but if he wants to salvage the relationship, they need to be communicating better and talking honestly, openly, and working the issue out.
