Another lot panic without sex in the relationship (8)
I believe the answer is:
platonic
'relationship' is the definition.
(I know that platonic is a type of relationship)
'another lot panic' is the wordplay.
'another' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lot'+'panic'='lotpanic'
'lotpanic' with letters rearranged gives 'PLATONIC'.
'without sex in the' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for platonic that I've seen before include "Latin cop in kind of non-sexual romance" , "Descriptive of a friendship-only relationship" , "Chastely intimate" , "not showing any passion)" , "Without physical desire" .)
