A female Australia, anonymous writes:

How do other people fight attractions to the opposite sex when you're in a committed relationship? I don't want to do anything to jeopardize what I have, but my b/f has a male friend I am strongly attracted to and find myself thinking about him sometimes. When he comes over, I try to excuse myself if possible and act like I have some things to do in another room, while he and my b/f visit. Sometimes he joins us for drinks when we go out and he's just the nicest man, and hugely gorgeous. (Think Smith Jarod from Sex-and-the-City, if you will!).

How do other people cope with these feelings. Is this normal?....I am completely committed and totally in love with my current b/f, so what is my problem? Is it hormones?.....

i think its just passionate lust. but what you describe having wid ur boyfriend is love. and those two are a big difference.

just dont do anything that will end up you hurting or losing your boyfriend because he can't deserve seeing his girlfriend hook up wid his best friend. if that happened to me, i would be devastated and have trust issues from then on. not saying you would do something like that, but maybe it could be hormones. just control yourself and think about YOUR man and no other guys
