Fun fact: as my philosophy prof never failed to point out platonic friendship in the original Greek sense did not exclude sexual relations and related to a relationship between mentor and student, which meant they were homosexual in nature. Cmp.: psychologytoday.com/…/the-true-meaning-of-platoni…
Interesting to see that. Definitions that exclude sexual relationships seemed very heavily based on weird conceptions of who should be having sex and end up making it harder for people who engage in sex for reasons outside sexual and/or romantic attraction to describe themselves.
