A post on X by @wizarab10 stirred debate with the statement, “Lack of sex is a valid ground to throw a relationship or marriage away.” In response, @ahdebee added, “It’s even a valid ground to throw certain friendships away,” sparking further controversy by suggesting that friendships, too, should hinge on physical intimacy.
This perspective blurs the fundamental boundaries between friendships and romantic relationships, overlooking the rich, non-physical value that friendships bring. Friendships provide emotional support, companionship, shared experiences, and personal growth—qualities that go far beyond physical connection. Recognizing these distinctions allows for healthier relationships where boundaries are respected, and each connection is valued for its unique role in our lives.
