I say if a man want's to prance about as a naked gladiator than that his 
business.  If a man want to watch men prance about as naked gladiators that's
his business too.  Hell, some of my best friends like to prance around like
naked gladiators.  I'd think I'd draw that line at letting a naked gladiator
marry my sister though.

John,

I am so Personally Pleased that You have Raised this MOST Pressing concern.

Obviously Neeley is Young, and a victim of HeteroSexuality....

Presuming of Course, that Heim is under the delusion that
Neeley is Suggesting that this 'token of affection' is a
significant arbitor of a variance of the GeoPolitical
Alignement of Forces in the The Classical Marxist Leninist
Materialist Dialectic of History, as it impacts The Armed
Revolutionary Struggle Phase of these Two GenderDiSimilarPersons

rather than say a 'sentimental gesture.'

So Neeley, Please Correctly Indicate Whether or Not you
were Espousing a Doctrine of Sexual Oppression as a
Manifestation of the SocioImperialism of Degenerate
Bourgeise Capitalist Affectation as a Means of Subjecting
the Masses to the Tyranny of Archaic Unreasonable Demegogary
Based Upon PhallioEuroCentrism Designed to Express
Class Conscious Cultural Warfare.


Obviously there are two clear Alternative wordings:

1. How long has it been since you were Oral-Oral Encountered by a memeber
of the appropriate gender/preference alignment.

{thats 'OOE by an MOTAGPA' for those taking notes in the cheap seats.}

2. When was the last time you expressed a Cheap petty
Bourgeise Capitalist Affection in the Hopes of Espousing 
a Doctrine of Sexual Oppression as a Manifestation of the SocioImperialism 
With Complete and Total Disregard for the GeoPlotical alignment
of Forces Arrayed, In the High Holy, One True Quest, and 
Campaign, Yea Verily the Struggle For the Ultimate Moral Purity
of all This Bright and Beautiful, Against the sinster, which is
to Say Offensive to Those Of UnrighthandedNes... 
{ continue until totally Innocuous, and bowing Gracefully
unto all the High Holy Totems...... }


Hum....

There could also be the side Question in all of this...
Namely that it is Not Morally Obligatory that Neeley was
interested in the OralEncountermentAsExpressionOfIkkyYukkyHoodEdNess...

and merely interested in the matter of the 
utilization of the notion/actualization of
Oral Germ TransMission between oppsoing
Gender Delimiting Toteems.

That may very well be, but it doesn't explain the fact that in this age of
enlightenment, sexually speaking (at least relative to 30 years ago or more)
we have a far higher divorce rate. By the way, I realize that divorce is far
more socially acceptable now as well. However, I don't believe that that fact
alone is the reason for the higher rate.

The argument that sleeping with someone to determine compatibility is a good
idea suffers the same fate as the argument that living with someone for an
extended period of time prior to marriage is a good way to ensure that there
is a match. Studies have shown that the incidence of divorce in such couples is
actually higher, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that similar
statistics apply to the case in question here.

Greetings and Felicitations.

As those of you know who are following the "Dating an Older Woman
Thread", I'm conducting a survey on people's preferences for age
differences in their partners.  Your replies should be sent to
me via e-mail and I will post the results to the net in about a

Please indicate your own age and gender and answer the following

  Do you prefer a significant other who is older than you, younger than
  you, or do you not care?

Sorry to break this to you, but you have sex just by being of a Gender.
There would be no potential for gestation if we were all spayed or neutered.
Then there would be NO SEX.
This is not the reality.

I prefer INTERCOURSE of a sexual nature with holistic awareness and without guilt.

Well...

Several women on Outward Bound with me last year said they detected that

(or expected).  

(No, it wasn't me. (What's the _non_-smiley for a serious "seriously"?  Or is

Actually, I would think that there would be *some* correlation here.
If you are highly intelligent, you would tend to spend 'more' time
reading and learning rather than mucking with your hair.  Some folks
look like they spend *hours* a day just getting ready to face the world
(hair, makeup, nails, etc.)  I would think that if they are willing to
spend so much time on such activities, then their time isn't worth
very much.

Not a perfect correlation, but there must be *some* correlation ...

Couples' ages correlated at the +0.9 level, but there does seem to be a
trend toward husbands being older than wives.  Average age at first marriage
in the U.S. is 23 for men and 20 for women, so if Joe Normal marries Jane
Average, he's going to be 3 years older (I wish I had more comprehensive
statistics on this).

Aristotle recommended that husbands be 19 years older than their wives.
Actually he was more specific; he suggested that men marry at the age of
37 and women at 18.  He justified the age difference on the grounds that
the couple would be entering their sexual decline together.

Quietly take some rope.  Tell her to lie down.

Bind your left ankle to hers, with her back facing you.  Bind her right ankle
to yours.  Then tie her waist to yours.  Then take your free hand and tie it
to her corresponding hand by the wrist.  Finally, using your bound hand, take
your other hand and tie your wrist to her other wrist.

Now issue her the Ultimatum.  "The stronger one gets to call the shots in this
relationship."

We call this Texas Bondage where we come from.  Yee ha!
