 Why not? I trust my husband. It's all about trust and keeping it in your pants.

For B.Shakey, it doesn't mean men have to act upon this desire..It's possible for a man and a woman to have a platonic relationship, it's about keeping your hormones in check.

Do you have friends who are females? If you answered yes to this question, then it would be hypocritical for you to put a restriction on her friends..Regardless, you cannot tell your girlfriend who she can and can't be friends with, that's called being controlling. It's perfectly natural and socially acceptable for the opposite sex to be friends, nothing more. My best friend happens to be a male and he gets along so well with my husband. You just have to have the trust..why are you questioning it?
Ultimately she's going to do what she wants, which is to have male friends..If she finds you attempting to put restrictions on her then she could walk.

 Crazy.. No.
Unrealistic and shortsighted, possibly. The fact that she felt the need to ask your permission to have male friends is kind of silly. If you met a female and you enjoyed her company in a platonic way - would you change your opinion or rule about no gender-opposite friends..
She did come to you and talk to you about it, that is a good thing. Communication lines are open and she is being honest and forthcoming. Ease up a little bit, otherwise she will feel confined and begin to rebel.
