Can men and women be "just friends".

Can men and women be just friends without any sexual tension between them? I don't believe so. I believe, both from personal experience and from several scholarly sources, that there is always, at some point, a sexual attraction between two people of the opposite sex who have a friendly, pleasant relationship. There are too many natural human instincts that drive us to be sexually attracted to a person for male-female friends to not ever experience …

…impossible to coexist with the opposite sex without sexual attraction due to the effects of multiple pheromones floating in the air and the provocation of oxytocin streaming through our bodies. It is simply unfeasible to have sexual tension-free opposite-sex friendships.
