Pretty silly question, if you ask me. "Friends" is basically society's definition of love without sex - what else would you call it?
Sex is a physical act. "Friends", "love", "relationship", all of those things are just words, definitions, they vary from person to person and society to society. I'm rather surprised to hear you say that it depends how you define "sex" - sex is a physical reality, it's all that other garbage that's in your head.
Essentially, people who ask this question are asking how successful they'd be at getting sex with no commitment. Well my answer to that would be, not very, unless it's a one-night stand (read: unless the two people don't see each other regularly). It all goes back to our biological imperatives, really - sex leads to pregnancy (condoms are a technological invention which basically oppose the forces of nature), so human brain chemistry tends to form an emotional attachment to the "lover" in order to take care of the kids.

Is it? Is sex really the only thing that separates a gf/bf relationship from a friendship? I have a hard time believing that.

I didn't say how you define sex. I said what sex means to you as a person, which is different. Definition of sex is what you consider to be sex and not, where as what it means to you is what feelings you have towards it, which views you have on its various aspects etc, how monumental you consider it to be etc.

That was my thought as well, but I have heard of cases where friends were sexual partners for a longer period of time, and when the other party got into a real relationship, it ended with no complications what so ever. While I deemed it very unlikely, it shows that some people can have a sex life yet at the same time keeping the emotional aspect (i.e. love) at bay. This way they fulfill each other's need for sex and all that comes with it, yet without the complications of potential emotional issues.
Of course, this is very rare, since sex as an act in 90% of the cases envokes feelings in one party sooner or later, but it still happens, and I just wanted to see if anyone had experience/thoughts etc. on this issue, since it breaks the usual norm that sex in this form (drunk shags and the likes are another issue of course) belongs to a couple that has mutual feelings for each other, and that the need for sex can be fulfilled without having to go through the emotional issue at the same time.
