Well, I guess I'm the exception which proves your rule
My closest friend is an NT married bloke - we've been friends for 17 years now with no sex or gender issues getting in the way. He's like my brother, without the teasing and annoying fraternal behaviour

as i said in other threads ...."...except childhood friendships", only in case of childhood friendship between the 2 genders succeeds.
Sorry to totally screw your theory, but I met my friend at a party when I was 23 and he was 21. I have no friends from my childhood.
I think you're getting emotional attachment mixed up with sex. It is perfectly possible to feel an emotional attachment to a good friend (insomuch as you love spending time with them, you are concerned for their wellbeing, and what happens to them matters to you), without wanting to get into their pants.
My friend and I have both had sexual relationships with other people during our friendship (he's now happily married) without detrimental effect to our friendship. We really are more like a pretty close brother and sister, without shared genes and family history.
