Yeah, obviously it's not totally separate from sex, but there's definitely a lot of fun to be had even without entering that realm. There's tension, just like any relationship, even just at parties, but it's definitely mitigated somewhat.
It's also extremely refreshing to have a community based around respect and trust, so a lot of inherent problems to vanilla relationships don't exist here. It's a lot easier to talk, ironically.
And you don't have to tell me about it if it depresses you. I don't want to make you do something depressing.
