My understanding is that it's different from typical romantic/sexual relationships because they don't kiss, makeout, have sex etc. So it's basically another term for a platonic life partner. I suppose you could just call it a very committed friendship, but most people don't share finances and raise kids with their buddies.

They may hold hands, cuddle, kiss, have sex, etc. or may not.

Right here it says they sometimes do make out or have sex though.
