I have had a variety of female friends that I was truly good friends with for a long time.

I've never had sex with any of them, but at one time or another wondered what they looked like naked. More as a point of curiosity than anything else. Perhaps because of that, it's never created any kind of tension or changed the dynamic of the relationship.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
