Is it normal to find your best friend attractive?

I'm an 18-year-old male, and I find my best friend--another guy--pretty attractive. I just think he's a really good-looking guy and kind of have a man-crush on him. But I honestly would never want to be in a relationship with him or anything. I only want to date and be that sort of emotionally-connected to girls.

That being said, I still find him good-looking, and I think I wouldn't even mind fooling around as friends just because I find him attractive. As for my sexuality, I'm a little odd in that I would enjoy being sexual with a boy or a girl (though I would never have intercourse with a man) as long as I am attracted to them, but I am not emotionally attracted to men.

Anyway, just wondering if this is totally strange and if I should just put it out of my mind, although I'm not sure I can since it's an attraction, and I can't really control what I like. :P

    My best friends are unbelievably attractive! I've never wanted anything more than friendship, but they really are very pretty.

      I don't want anything more than friendship either! But thank you for your reply. Have you ever thought of playing around with your friends just to feel good and have fun? Or is that crossing the line? I guess I don't know what I would do/feel if it actually came down to it, but I think I wouldn't mind just messing around for fun with my friend and pleasing him.

        Thinking about it and doing it are two very different things. Don't worry, I think it's fairly normal to think about it. I mean, they probably are attractive, regardless of your friendship. And the fact that they are your friends and you get on well might make them even more attractive, that would definitely make sense. I personally, wouldn't do it. I don't think they'd be interested in it anyway, but I wouldn't either. I don't really see them that way. I just think they're very beautiful people. To me, it would be crossing the line. It just wouldn't happen with my closest friends (who are either female or gay). It might be different for you , though. What works for you and your friends is different to what works with me and mine.:) I mean, relationships (including casual ones) which started as friendships are hardly rare, are they?:P

          Glad to hear it's not unusual for me to think about it! And I agree that I'm not so sure I would go through with it, but since I haven't come face to face with it yet, I don't know what I would do. Thanks for your help! :)

    No guy should ever find a guy attractive if they are straight. Sounds like you are gay and need to fuck dudes. You need to accept the dick and realize you are going to be filled up with cum like a cream doughnut. Your one true meaning in this life is to be a cum dumpster and drink semen likes it's water and you are dying of thirst

      You may not be *the* most twisted person I've encountered, but you're definitely on my top ten list.

    You just described me to a "T".

    I believe this is normal. I find my friends attractive, and they don't find it weird at all. However, I would never have any sexual contact with them.
