 There seems, IMHO, to be some sort of general consensus as to
just what gracefulness is -- or, at the least, a definite connection between
it and dancing. Now, as far as I can tell, this is going to depend to a great
extent on just what sort of dancing is going on, anyway (say, ballroom as
opposed to whatever the current thing that happens at raves is called) --
but even so, I tend to think of myself as remarkably graceless; but that 
just doesn't really come into it when dancing. Sense of rhythm, perhaps (and
I've got /that/ from juggling; an interesting side-effect that I didn't think
would appear.. <grin> ) and possibly just plain energeticness; grace, though,
is only something that comes into it on occasions.

 After all, dance frantically enough, and you look as if you know what you're
doing, even if you don't have a clue. That's what I tend to try -- and,
though I may well not wind up looking as if I know what I'm doing, I'm
normally to exhausted to care.. <grin>

Well, not that they're really necessary, but I'm rather fond of those "annoying
come shots."  My attraction to males involves a certain vicarious pleasure
when my partner has an orgasm...I've been known to come unassisted by any
contact when my partner is close to a mind-blowing climax.  I like the
visual cue as well as the auditory...aids the effect.  True, on film it's
kind of crude, but I'd miss it, personally.

I don't think that I was persisting in doing so - if I was, I'm
sorry.  It sort-of got tied in with my reply to something Paul
Crowley wrote, about the differences, the definitional problems
of "sex", "sexual", and so forth; to that extent, what I was
saying is involved in your answer.  For example, some people
may define "sex" to include masturbation; the two-hour drool-cum-
fantasy I had on the train coming home from Cambridge on Sunday
was very sexual, even though it was in my head only, centered
around the person sleeping opposite me, quite oblivious; if
my fantasy was sex, have I had sex with him but not him with
me - him being asleep, and all that?

Hence this momentary hunger for, if not other people's definitions,
then at least for their ruminations.

I don't see a real difference, assuming the same guy and boyfriend.
If the boyfriend is gay he may feel differently than he would if he
was bi, though.

Note that, not having a boyfriend (yet :) and not having any
girlfriends leave for other females, this isn't from direct
experiances.  Unfortunately, I have been dumped for other people, but
that happens to us all.  :(
