imo someone who tags something as 'platonic' probably isn't meaning asexual as the op means in this essay, though I don't rule out the homoeroticism that may be present. I suppose the idea of labelling an asexual romantic relationship of some sort as platonic just annoys me, as it implies that sex is necessary for a romantic relationship, which is mainstream discourse.
