Sam: Igros Moshe EH 4:60 states quote “There is also a severe prohibition from the Torah in close friendships between a young man and woman.” end-quote It makes no exemptions.
Hey, that’s *exactly* the point I was making regarding the SA. “Ain Shoalim B’shlom Ishah K’lal” — no exemptions. Sister, niece, stepmother, daughter — there are no exceptions to the rule. And since I’ve asked about the welfare of all of the above, it’s obvious that I’m a disgusting pervert.
