Of course. Not all of them, but most of them.

You need better friends.
I’ve at least made out with most of mine.
Those of you who said not all of them, what’s stopping you from the others?
I’m with the vast majority of males in this thread.
Yep. Happened once and I did. She said she was as horny as fuck and just needed the stress relieved
Assuming they’re single* or not the unrequited love of a male friend of mine (then I probably would as well but try to keep it quiet )
*Not married to or going with a friend. If the partner was a stranger then I probably would once I was sure it was a “just sex” thing.
No, most of my female friends are only friends because they’ve set their attractive quotient for me at a lower level.
Yes, and I have. But not when I’m in a relationship.
Yes, assuming she’s single; if she’s not, then almost certainly not.
Firstly, this.
In the cases I can think of, I have several friends who are (both genders but we’re discussing the) women who are nice enough to hang out with but also batshit crazy and/or drama prone. Given that if I was going to be doing this, they’d have to cope with my wife and open relationship, just no.
Of course, the ones who are crazy in ways that would cause drama are also the ones most willing to return the “Yeah, I’d sleep with you” feeling.
Absolutely. Most of my female friends are hot.
Some of my female friends, even the hotter ones, are solidly in the “like a sister” zone, and it would be just creepy to sleep with them.
I’ve even seen one of them naked, and while I was aware that I was seeing an attractive, stacked woman with nearly nothing on, I was also entirely confused by the fact that there wasn’t even a though of sexuality involved there. That was the first time I consciously aware that I could have attractive, even gorgeous, female friends and after a while there just wasn’t anything there.
So, it’d be, for me at least, an issue of sexual attraction. Whether because I see them as family or they’re not physically to my liking, it’s a matter of sexual attraction.
Before someone says “that’s not how you should think of women (in regards to physically to my liking)” – this is about sex, not a relationship.
ETA: And anyone who’d pass up on the crazies/drama prone, doesn’t know what they’re missing. A screw loose in the head is a killer in the bed.
Back in college, I played the field, so I knew a few men who went back and forth between “friend” and “lover.” There was little distinction between the two beyond the obvious except as it related to MY circumstances. If I was in an exclusive relationship, they remained friends. If I wasn’t, then I was fine with physical intimacy. Of course, there were other guys who always remained friends because I simply wasn’t attracted to them in that way.
Thinking to my current male friends, most of whom are husbands of my girlfriends, I’d say that if circumstances allowed it (e.g we were both single), I’d be fine sleeping with most of them. Generally speaking, if I like them well enough to hang out with, then I like them well enough to sleep with them. Attraction is attraction.
If it’s a girl I’d wanna screw without already being friends, then being friends would be no problem.
Yes
and maybe even a few who are enemies
This poll is why I don’t have straight male friends. I’m just not comfortable being ‘friends’ with someone who desires me sexually. A friendship to me is a relationship totally void of any sexual tension.
Obviously (comparing myself to all the people I know) I’m way outside the norm on this one.
Never.
I don’t think that for most guys there’s all that much tension. More like if the chance arose they’d do it, but in the same way that they’d like to do any moderately appealing woman they see at the grocery store or sitting in traffic. Generally speaking, guys just want to do most of the women they see.
Which reminds me of a song…
My eyes keep me in trouble,
Want every woman I see…

I have plenty of straight females as friends, and there’s no sexual tension between us, even the ones I would sleep with.
I don’t think men and women define sexual tension the same way, frankly. Or, at least you and I don’t define it the same way.
Preach it!
You’re missing out. I don’t desire my female friends sexually. I wouldn’t ask any of them to sleep with me; but I wouldn’t pass up the opportunity if they asked to sleep with me. That the female is the initiator is the key difference.
