Who holds their sister like that? Even in touchy Feely families.

And there's a bunch of other weird stuff throughout the show. Like Monica and Ross talking about each other's sex lives to each other and in front of each other is just... weird.

Little odd at a couple points

That is completely normal

Some siblings are like that, I've seen it enough times to not find it too weird.

You know who does? People that don't look at everything in a sexual manner.

This is the correct answer.

This.

I'm sorry you were raised so (sexually) conservatively that you view a wrapped arm side hug as implying anything

Never had a real sister and never did stuff like this with step sisters. But I did carry a step sister once like the stereotypical newlywed husband carrying his wife. She had hurt her foot.

Also had another thatvliked to play in my hair. Was awkward at first but I love how it feels. Nothing sexual just like how it feels.

Think you misunderstood him

the wierdest one is when Rachel talks about the first kiss or something and both Monica and Phoebe goes nuts over it

I feel like that as a girl thing not "Ooh he's so hot" thing. You see it enough in shows where the girls are getting all excited about each other's romances, probably happy for one another but I feel like this is a stereotype because I don't think girls really behave like this in real life lol...

In my experience, they do act like that

Are you kidding, some of my exes had friends that knew about my sex life before I even met them.

Gossiping sure, but I'm referring to something else.

Loool it's funny because one of the girls at work just called me the giggle police because I was harumphing about the office next door being too loud and giggling.

Why does not Ross, the largest friend, simply eat the others?

Odd. I've seen it from little girls, not 20 year olds. but that's probably experience of my own so I guess its not so weird after all.

fellas is it gay to hug your sister

Ross just might be incestuous. There was also an episode where he wanted to fuck his cousin played by Denise Richards I believe.

no, they knew.

did you forget about their new year's eve dance routine?

This is from the same show by the by:

This is the only weird part. I don't know any siblings(bro,sis) who talk about about their sex lives other than maybe lack of one. I guess i do know some sisters who do, but that's about the only pairing.

Please understand, us Americans are still reeling from the Janet Jackson incident.

My sister and I hold each other like that sometimes. Usually when comforting each other, or sharing in something we both feel emotional about, like a song or a scene from a movie. Granted, it's relevant to say I consider her to be one of my closest friends. I have the same with other close female friends.

Funny because there's an episode where Rachel breaks up with one of her boyfriends because he was too touchy with his sister.

lol Ive been watching through the show for the first time (just started season 7!) and it happens a lot where Im like I think Ross and Monica are a little too touchy feely I wouldnt be that way with my sister.

Lol if anyone one of the friends would be bi it would probably be phoebe...

Ross tried to have sex with his first cousin, totally normal he would be like that with his sister.

To some families it probably is. As much as it disgusts me I've heard od families where the son kissing his mom on the lips was normal.

Once met the friend of an ex who was also friends with my ex before them. Turns out theyd told them *a lot*.

That was kinda awkward.

What do you mean? Second post says they do that with their brother all the time.

Friends is a garbage show with trash writing.

^ ^ Do you really believe that though?

I mean people have differing opinions. I used to watch Seinfeld and it was mildly enjoyable but I never got all the love it received. And Jerry can't act for shit.

Lol its scenes like this that make me think the writers maybe are self aware a little of what they did in the past:

First cousin? What degree of cousin would make it okay, if any?

It's more normal with cousins than sisters by a long shot even if still weird.

But in some areas I almost get it. I've lived in a few towns where you'd have a friend and like every third person was their cousin. So for teens anyways its like they really ain't got a lot of options. Glad I didn't grow up in a town with a good chunk of it being my kin

Makes me wonder what life is like in small towns compared to major cities

Mostly quiet unless you live in a bad area. A lot of people know each other I've never really had such a expierence as I've moved alot growing up. And as a adult I just keep to myself. Usually if you hear gunfire it's of no concern just some redneck shooting his guns for the sake of it. I've been guilty myself difference being is we asked the cops if it was permitted. They said as long as the projectile never leaves your property. Granted I lived out in the sticks at the time

It can vary I've lived in some trashy places where there was crime and neighbors would openly having loud arguments sometimes even fighrs and I've lived places that where more stand up and people mostly got along.

Despite being bi heavily leaning gay i prefer it. Never lived in a city but have lived close enough to one i was in it often for the night life expierence. But I'm sure that boils down to its what om accumostmed to. Though I don't think any amount of time living in a city would make me prefer driving in one.. I think I will always prefer windy backroads. It's more fun to drive when there's a lot of curves in the road.

Personally I think the best experience is live in a rural area close to a city. You get quiet life of a rural town and the cheapness of one usually but close enough the positives of a city ain't too far away such as the night life previously mentioned. More places to go and eat shop etc. More jobs

thats super weird to do with any family imo

You were my midnight mystery kisser!

I will also say I have the theory cousins seem more acceptable to people cause they are usually similar ages and don't see each other often. So you don't exactly feel that family bond with them the same way you would a sibling.

Not my cup of tea but I did have one cousin I couldn't help thinking looked good oddly it was the one old enough to be my mom. Despite being 50 something she had the body of a in shape 20 year old.

Wouldn't have been able to put up with her even if I was interested though lol. Her house may have been spotless but it was pure chaos in other ways.

In the middle east, it's THE norm

Generations upon generations of cousin couplings there

That is pretty strange looking imo

I know right. Makes me smirk at the initial contrarian posts that felt the need to be contrary, not sure if they were serious or legitimately that wack
