Totally Agree, OP

[(Anonymous)]

Sex and romance really cheapens a relationship, don't you agree? Unless you're speaking of heterosexual couples, of course.

*confusedly rereads secret looking for anything about how sex and romance "cheapens" relationships*

*finds nothing*

*realizes you've got your own weird agenda abetted by poor reading comprehension*

*sighs and closes tab*

I'm pretty sure they're being sarcastic, even implying the OP is homophobic, but maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Not OP, but I actually doubt fans of platonic relationships think this.

For me personally? I think, usually, romance cheapens relationships MOST with heterosexual couples. With homosexual couples, romance only cheapens them a bit (in part because they tend to be less drama-llama, and also because they are rare and therefore refreshing). Platonic relationships are spared entirely, so platonic friendships = best, homosexual romances = second best, heterosexual romances = worst.

Of course, I think this is more because of the bad and cliched way romance is always written in western works of fiction, than because romance is inherently inferior.

nayrt

I wouldn't say romance "cheapens" a relationship, but I do seem to end up preferring friendships in media because so many romances are so horribly written. And I agree with your hierarchy of friendship>same sex romance>het romance in terms of quality...the majority of het romances seem to have the laziest, most cliched writing of any relationships.
