Platonism in love is like atheism in faith. There is no atheist who does not think of God and there is no Platonist who does not think of sex. Sex is what really propels the Internet. Google statistics search shows how above all else sex is the single most popular search item in the net. And Freud, the dirty-man father of modern psychoanalysis had pointed out that everything that we do, even those apparently non-sexual daily activities we engage in, is propelled by our libidos; the deep unconscious sexual urge. No wonder that a former life-coach’s start-up website Platonicpartners cannot totally eschew sex. She set up the site when one of her male friends committed suicide unable to bear his impotency. And her research, reports Times Online, showed her that there are just too many people who would not want physical intimacy in any relationship at all. This warranted the creation of this website, which has currently 400 members and at least 27,000 hits per month. Yet the very concept of this site needs further looking into. Incidentally, Orkut, the Google social networking site has a Group called ‘sapiosexuality’, much similar to this venture. One other thing needs to be remarked before moving further. Strictly speaking, Platonic love is more indicative of gay love than heterosexual sexless intimacy. The name of the site will disappoint some of the ‘intellectual make love to me without sex’ types. Why would a normal person want a site where there will be cultivated sexless love? Even if a person is not potent then the person ought to seek medical and psychiatric assistance. There is no shame in that but is it not strange that folks hide behind the anonymity of a computer-screen and escape their own real lives. The Japanese are suffering from a national crisis where the male youth would rather have physical contact with dolls than with women. Such sites as these may be harboring a kind of subtle perversion. If a person is already married then why on earth would that person be turning to other deep friendships which sooner or later may impinge on the marriage? Now many might protest that this site is not meant for such usage but neither were other social-networking sites. Ms King reports that she enquires about her members through email and thus strictly controls the whole show. This has two flaws. First, now that the numbers are less, it is feasible to individually verify whatever can possible be verified from such emails. The second issue with this is the very impossibility of knowing a person from mails. And the additional membership preference of lights against a member signifying how far a person may proceed with another member dilutes the very purpose of sexless meetings. A member may opt for no sex while a green one indicates full throttle. At the back of this innocently named, yet sexually hintful site, there lurks the same desire that porn adult-networking sites have. Pay money to connect to others willing to have sex for fun. The impotent can carry on their sexless chatter.
