Platonic Friendship

The rise of platonic friendships

Platonic friendships have started to take centre stage in the fabric of people's lives after being confined to the periphery of interpersonal ties in the past. While sexual relationships have long caught poets' and minstrels' attention, the more subtle attraction of platonic relationships is currently enjoying the spotlight of social scrutiny. This change has caused many of us to give serious thought to the complex and profound nature of friendship itself.
