What is a platonic friendship?

A platonic friendship is a deep, caring, non-romantic and non-sexual relationship. It involves genuine affection, trust, and investment in each other's wellbeing — simply without romantic or sexual dimensions. Platonic friendships are often undervalued compared to romantic relationships, but research shows they are equally important to wellbeing and longevity. Lovon provides a reflective space to explore what these relationships mean to you.
