I also had a very good male friend in college, one of my best friends, actually, and we once discussed having sex. We decided that there were way too many other people to potentially do that with rather than risk messing up a friendship we both valued if one or the other of us couldn't keep it to a 'just sex' level. So we didn't have sex.
You must have had much more mature college friends then I did (or was myself). I, unfortunately did not have the foresight not to screw up a good friendship.
Gone the carvings and those who left their mark. Gone the kings and queens, now only the rats hold sway.
