BookWorm120: Thank you! Unfortunately, it’s not just a few people. I remember years ago listening to a tape from Rabbi Orlofsky about platonic relationships. He says they can’t work because all men are pigs. People tell the story of the Chofetz Chaim and how he said he was affected by seeing women when he was in his 80s. There were threads here about it. Maybe if you shut yourself away and never have anything to do with the opposite gender, then you won’t know how to handle it when you must have some contact. Thankfully I was not closeted away, and I learned how to deal with women respectfully, and control myself.
