It’s late at night when your phone illuminates. Deep in the pit your stomach, you know what awaits: an extremely sexual text from your drunk platonic dude friend. A listener got a handful from a taken man-buddy of hers, promising a cornucopia of oral delights. Yet he seemed ashamed of these sexual textuals when she confronted him about them. So what’s the deal? Is their relationship any different?

And someone wants to know if there are any compliments, pick-up lines, or come-ons that have worked on the Guy Friends. Are there any phrases, gestures or general attitudes that can reliably get a dude to Open Sesame?
