Something's Gotta Give

Last night, I watched this movie again for the nth time and boy, this film doesn't ceased to make me laugh. The film was intelligently done, the dialogues were great and Jack Nicholson and Dianne Keaton had such a good rapport together. You see, I seldom watched movies which stars are "old" but this is an exception.

Well, this post is not a review of the film but rather a personal take driven from one of the issues brought on the film.

The big question is: "Can a guy and girl remain friends after having sex?

This catches my attention not because I am in the situation (duh, I wish! hehehe) but it made me think if it's possible.

You may say it's possible if it's just a "casual sex". But that violates the whole context of "friendship". And how does one define friendship? Or how does a friend suppose to treat a friend? Does friendship involves physical or even sexual favors? Really, this issue is such a big thing that I don't even know what to think. What if both parties were beforehand attracted to each other? Of course, that would lead the friendship to more deeper relationship, which is great, right? But what if both parties are not? Say I have a friend for a long time, because of the urge of the current situation, we did it. But no "love" binds between us ( I mean love for friends and love for a someone special are totally different, right?). What will happen next? Of course, awkwardness would be our first response. Yes, we can talk about it. Maybe conclude a solution to JUST LET IT PASS AND KEEP IT WITHIN OURSELVES, but what would happen to the friendship that we had?Are we going to remain as friends as before?

Does sex and friendship can come together?
