When I read Heinlein, I didn't take note of male sexuality in his
books.  :-) I don't recall, however, *any* male sexuality in his work.
I also cannot recall any female character whose purpose in the story
served any purpose besides fucking the lead male.

Um....not really part of this thread....in today's SF Chronicle, "Farley"
had something kindasorta along this line.  Hilda (a Bear) goes to Berkeley
to buy patchouli oil and comes upon the weekly nude-in at UC. In the last
panel a newscaster says "The Berkeley demonstration ended abruptly when a 
large unclothed female black bear entered the circle of activists and
shouted 'Our hairy bodies, our selves!'".

Um....well, OK.  It's a bear thing, as George says.

The shaved-body trend has been growing for at least of couple of years now,
and I must join the bears on this -- I find it quite repulsive.  I'm 
not a bear myself, but this hair phobia has really gone way too far.

It seems that everyone is shaving their bodies now.  

The ones who had lots of body hair before shaving turn into porcupines -- 
who could possibly enjoy being up against them?  

The ones that had minimal hair to start out with have destroyed those 
cute little lines and hair tufts that are so interesting to explore.  

If you're going to shave your body why not just wear lots of makeup
too.  Then you can look just like the porno-movie clones that I
detest so much.

I'll go further than that; I'll go so far as to claim George
Carlin's definition of a "Fussy Eater" [developed in discussing
his own eating habits in a routine of the same name]: "a big
pain in the ass."

I routinely avoid invitations to dinner with people who don't
know me well just to avoid the hassle. Breakfasts are fine; I
eat all sorts of "breakfast" foods -- pancakes, waffles, crepes, 
and so on.  Lunches are OK -- usually I can get a sandwich. But
dinners are usually a disaster unless I'm going with people who
already know what allowances to make for my peculiar feeding
habits.  ;-{)##]

Personally, the biggest problem I have with my taste in food is
the odd ways OTHER people react.

Don't forget the potential involved in middle names.  That's what my

"Lord," to fall into extinction, so they named me "Timothy William
Lord Pierce."  I still run into the occasional bozo who thinks I'm

More important in a place like NY City, you may assume the tenancy
of a rent controlled or rent stabilized apartment if your domestic
partner leaves.  Landlords are permitted rent increases-- sometimes
very substantial-- when the tenancy changes, so they would prefer
that this not happen.  These days, alas, there are lots of literal
inheritances of apartments.  But not always.  My friend Howard
(well, _one_ of my friends Howard) had to go to court when his
lover retired to the Southwest, but he got to keep the apartment.

Then so is language, I guess. Tell me, if someone expected to get a
kneeslapper out of 'where's the beef?' today, would they be successful?
No. At least, not half as well as they would have however long ago.
Language changes because people get tired of hearing the same expressions
over and over again. Fashion changes because people get tired of the
same shape or colors. The only difference is fashions are 'released',
whereas language just kinda mutates.

(make note: I'm not saying here that fashion is like a bunch of stupid

  I do have to wonder what exactly the connotation of "butthole surfin"
could possibly be. 
  Does it have something to do with "hangin' ten"? Personally I find a
hanging 10 to be rather large. Perhaps hangin' 8 or something like
that but 10? Hmm.
  Or maybe it was to do with sex wax on you stick. The thought of
wax mixed with sand on your stick, however, does not seem like
a particularily pleasureful thought. Sand is not sex's friend.
(Although sex on the beach isn't necessarily so bad)
  Perhaps it has something to do with shreddin' on a radical right.
Now this seems to have potential. Yes, I think that must be it.
  Butthole surfin has to do with shreddin' the radical right.
So watch out a you little radical rights, or we'll take our

Looking back, there were two vital elements in
my coming out process.  The first was finding
other people who liked and respected themselves
and this I was lucky enough to get from UCI's
Gay Student's Center.  Smart, fun, supportive
people.

The second was going out dancing.  I walked in
the doors of Studio One and there were MEN! 
People who were being friendly and cruisy and
getting to do all the things that my straight
friends had the opportunity to do but I didn't
- because I was different.  Now, in this place,
I *wasn't* different and I could meet people and
talk and go on dates and fall in love and have
friends who would understand what I was feeling.

I heard "It's Raining Men" for the first time
that night.  I didn't think of it in terms of
getting laid lots - I was ecstatic that my 
emotional needs were getting addressed, that
the possibilities were endless and the opportunities
astounding.  What it was raining was *life*.

I've heard it lots of times since then and if
I can dance to it I will.  I can narrow my eyes
and the feelings come rushing back, seeing hot
men dancing with the sweat running down their
backs and not being ashamed that they turned me
on.  Freedom.

Two years ago, a couple of months after Eddie
died, I was at a danceClub called 20/20 on a
Sunday afternoon.  I had been pretty much 
chronically depressed but for some reason I 
let a friend drag me out on to the floor.  
They played some older songs that I liked to 
dance to like "Electric Dreams".  Then "Heaven 
Must Have Sent You" - which had been one of 
Eddie's favorite songs and the song that was 
playing when we met back in '86.  I thought I
was going to have to stop but then I got very
happy - I was remembering the feeling of being
*with* him and not destroyed by the feeling of
being *without*.  Then "It's Raining Men" came 
on and all these feelings came rushing out and we
were all over the dance floor and then Donna
Summer's "This Time I Know It's For Real" started
up and we went crazy.  Every nerve in my body
was singing and finally the song was over and
the music just stopped, dead silent.  This loud
wild yell went up from the dance floor and I was
laughing and crying and holding onto my friends
and feeling *alive*.

That's what I thought about when I read about
Paul Jabara's death.
