I did not say "fellatio"...that would be covered under the last two post and I've been far too oral in both regards.
Phileo is friendship love.
It's an even larger category that the hotness that comes with Eros and Venus.
They flame, then die down to cold and dusty and lost embers most often if left soley to themselves.
This is where the other "loves" come in, if they do at all.
Maybe they all may become the drive home if we allow it? Eros, Venus, Phileo?
But we have two more.
Just know that that Narnian author C.S. Lewis was dead on when he said said that eros made a man and woman look "face to face" but that phelio love made thewm stand sholder to shoulder...side by side "seeing the same truth".
That's what "Peachy" and "Danny" end up doing in The Man Who Would be King. Friends to the end, however bitter or disappointing it it might be or become. Loyalty, love, devotion, care and "seeing the same truth."
Friendship is proved in the commonality of vision and in the fires of adversity that prove real love.
I fucking said that.

Yeah, i tend to think that friendship love is leaning towards the heart and spirit and vision that can bind two together tighter than physical love like Venus and Eros. When the physical is gone, what is left? which you already said.
Phelio is kinda lke exclerating speed on the highway with the hope of keeping speed with out tiring. Which is probably why if you travel a distance you bring someone with you. You encourage each other and if one grows tired
the other takes the wheel.
Waiting to hear about the next two loves.
good series
you sure as hell fucking did say that. :)
i'm glad we're friends.
