Can men and women be friends... only?

Platonic relationships. Can a man and a woman just be friends, without sex entering into the mix? I asked a number of people from all walks of life—including a number of relationship and dating experts—and the responses have been very interesting.
 
Of the 100+ people I spoke with / received responses from, many claimed their were in relationships—close relationships—with members of the opposite sex… and have never crossed the line into romantic territory. But what about primal instincts? What about when one or both do enter a romantic relationship?
