This is normal, biological uncontrolled instinct which we have carried for millions of years.Īdults learn to do this discreetly, adolescents a little less so, due to a combination of hormones, curiosity, and as yet undeveloped discretion. Men will check women's breaststroke and hips as potential carriers of babies. Women will check a man's height and muscle tone, and genitals for potential protection, strength, and as a provider of babies.

That means that, without thinking, or doing so consciously and knowingly, we check out members of the opposite sex for suitability if potential mates. We are biologically unconsciously programmed to assess the opposite sex in terms of procreation to further our species. What does this mean? How should I go about addressing it if it continues or should I even say anything anymore since it's not hurting anyone? However ever since that day whenever we hangout I constantly catch her glancing at my crotch for a few seconds and fully staring whenever I wear sweatpants but when I make a comment about it she just changes the subject or laughs it off. I immediately apologize but she just laughs it off and continued on with her day. As I stood up I caught her staring looking at it. A few yrs have gone by and we have been great friends, but recently, the morning after I crashed at her place after a party, She came into the guest room and woke me up to hang out, I jumped out of bed really fast forgetting about “morning wood'. I enjoy her company as a person so I say ok. Me and my close female friend started out sexually interested in each other after a few weird events (don't feel like explaining) she came to me and basically said she wants me in her life as a friend forever and didn't want sex to ruin it.
