Platonic love

[jedusor]

Two rectifications of the popular concept of Platonic love seem necessary in order to appreciate the relevance of Plato’s theory of love to contemporary problems. The first is related to the non-sexual aspect of the loving relationship, for Plato’s theory of love includes sex. The second is related to the heterosexual aspect of the loving relationship. Indeed, Plato considers love between people solely as a homosexual phenomenon, whereas his discussion of sex includes both heterosexual and homosexual relationships.

--Lydia Amir, "Plato’s Theory of Love: Rationality as Passion"

So when you say your relationship with someone is platonic, you're implying that it's a sexual gay relationship. That's amusing.
