Same situation here although the actual relationship breakup was always on good terms (long story that I won't go intoi have been friends with my ex for a few years now, my answer would be yes as the sex already happened so the sexual tension is already gone, with her being interstate probably helps my partner accept our friendship.
Agree with Chops though, you can if your not sexually attracted to her, just hope she is not sexually attracted to you either, it can work both ways!
Yes, I am getting good quality and as much quantity as I would like.
BUT..............ever heard the theory about the new cow and the old cow? Something new (and attractive), would always be fun! Perhaps I should have been born into a Muslim community?
Never ONCE had a sexual thought about them Tech? Maybe they read this and you can't answer?Hell yeh!

There's still time for the sex thing to get in the way you know, you're not that old.
They're his daughters.
Sorry Tech, had to score points on the SA thing before someone else did.
Haha.
Only one daughter,that I admit to!
Had the opportunity with both friends when at times we have both been single.
Jointly decided not to and was/is the correct decision.
Mainly because we couldnt handle one another as partners!! Weve been friends long enough to know!
Thats a point you know there comes a time with friends when you know!
Best to do the physical thing when you dont!
The ladder theory is a funny, scientific explanation of how men and women
are attracted to each other. It also covers such topics as why women
sometimes just want to be friends but men always want sex. It is based upon
many years of sociological field testing, and was first conceptualized in
1994 in Exeter, CA by Dallas Lynn with acknowledgements to Jared Whitson for
his role in formalizing the theory
Does it mean we can't be friends though? Maybe we've evolved to a point where we don't have to just keep sticking our willies into things?
I've been looking at this from an evolutionary perspective to try and get an answer.
Women like to nurture more and have close companionship.
Mate where does Paris Hilton fit into this world scanario
More to the point... what fits in Paris? Or perhaps more easily answered, what doesn't fit in Paris, in this scenario?
I agree there is much more to it. Socialisation of the human over thousands of years has developed our social customs and behaviours, including the invention of monogomy (for the West) and marriage. This has probably come about as a form of social control but also a natural desire to 'nest'. The base instict still may be to have sex with the opposite gender, or as we've discussed elsewhere, with anything else. Men also need companionship of course. Don't really get that with a prostitute, although you hear strange tales of men falling in love with them. I think this is slightly askew to the topic.If it were all about sex then men wouldn't bother with marriage because of its costs (e.g. the average wedding ceremony costs $22,000). They would go for the low-cost option of using a prostitute. With a prostitute they also get good-looking and young girls. The fact that so many men are willing to marry the one girl is proof that there is more to it than sex.
Certainly, the intense sexual jealousy and competitiveness among human beings strongly suggest that adultery has a long history in our species. (Why would our biology have outfitted us with such traits if utter fidelity were the rule?) In this regard, moreover, testicles have a tale to tell.
Gorillas, despite their large bodies, have comparatively tiny testicles. Those of chimpanzees, by contrast, are immense. The reason for the difference seems clear: Gorilla males compete with their bodies, not their sperm. Once a dominant silverback male has achieved control over a harem of females, he is pretty much guaranteed to be the only male who copulates with them.
Chimps, by contrast, experience a sexual free-for-all, with many different males often copulating in succession with the same adult female. As a result, male chimpanzees compete with their sperm, and they have evolved big testicles to produce large quantities of it. In most species, the ratio of testicle size to body size is a good predictor of how many sexual partners an animal is likely to have.
