Guys can have women friends without sleeping with them. However, it does take work to get there. Our "animal desires" are there, but can be held in check with personal boundaries.

that's what I tried to tell him in the beginning of our relationship and throughout it...I tend to have more guy friends than girl friends, because I grew up such a tomboy (being the only girl in the family out of a lot of guys) And I try to tell him, that even if someone wants to sleep with me, I'm not ever going to do that...that's not me. I think that it is wrong to cheat. And he had been cheated on while overseas, and I know how much that hurt him, and I swore to him and myself that I would never hurt him like his ex had..
