Peter Jones’ book review is helpful, but targeting why SSA advocates feel the need to justify their behaviors on the foundation of friendship would be even more helpful. Do heteros do much thinking/promoting the joys that come from nonsexual relations with the opposite sex? But I admit, playing with & and trying to discover and make sense of the female mind & sensibilities is not an unworthy pastime. I just wouldn’t wax too rhapsodic about it.
