Maybe I'm just confused about what you mean by sexual tension. If I'm attracted to somebody, I feel out what they think. If they don't feel the same, then that's that. Same the other way around.

If people agree that they like each other, then there is sexual tension, because they both instigate that sexual tension.

If they aren't attracted to each other, then there's obviously no chance of sexual tension in the first place.

For some people I see on the Internet, sex seems to be an overwhelming factor in their lives, and they see all relationships through that lens, but I've never observed that in real life. Sex and romantic relationships are just one part of people's lives, and most friendships are never perceived through that lens.
