When harry met sally
(1989)
This movie starring the beautiful and lovely too Ms. Meg Ryan - along with a misfit in a romantic role of sorts in this connection Billy Crystal who got picked no doubt for his other talents such as knowing whom to kowtow to with his particular style and manner that is. The question raised in this movie is whether a man can have a successful relationship with a woman with whom he is not involved sexually - whether he finds her attractive or not - without wishing for sex with her somewhere along the line - whether at the outset perhaps or later as the relationship blooms and takes shape that is. It is my own opinion (more in an upcoming book I'm working on) that men and women must seek many partners during the course of their careers as members of our community with whom to share love and companionship in what is to come in the future of such matters it would appear. Men and women must be free (even if they are in a relationship) to be altogether comfortable treating other potential partners of the future as though the prospect could become a reality and therefore offer them the respect and caring attitude even before they actually are actually fully involved with each other as may be the case for them in the future. The spirit withers away when tied to one for too long and with no other outlets in the meantime such as friends and even lovers perhaps too who may be kept at a distance somehow so as to not cause harm to current relationships each may be involved in already. In any event I think its ok to treat a gal (such as your sister in law for example) in a completely innocent manner, while loving her in a spirit nevertheless in a way to assure her that if your brother was incapacitated for some reason in the future, she could count on you to step in - provided you are as good a match for each other equally - or more even. In the meantime the love you may all share in this situation for each others wives that are of your worth in merit reciprocally should be quite as real as warranted by the attractiveness involved for each other - and not being ashamed to show affection and care and attention for each other - as though you may be mates in the future as all will have lived with more love being shown to them by all deserving of them during the course of their careers on the planet I believe. (Whether just as caring companions as members of the community or even lovers if the case warrants and all are comfortable with it - although that's a tall order at the moment i think - given how we are made - as normally having an affairs spells the end of the relationship you happen to be in previously - no matter how long you draw it out and protract matters in belabouring fashion. We simply aren't made with a mind that allows us to share sexual and romantic partners I'm sure. That however I also believe nevertheless will change as I think we will find it a great benefit indeed to adapt to the prospect of sharing equally with merit - a right accorded to all deserving member of a close knit community which could be drawn together perhaps with this idea in mind.
