   <hug hug hug HUG!> I dare say many of us have felt the lack of male
hugs 'n sex at some time or another...heck, of any gender at all. With
one partner gone, another reassessing monogamy because of a new insecure
SO, and another all but gone because of her psychotic partner virtually
running her life for her...I might as well be monogamous! Not that I'm

   Heavens, if I tried that with the women in my group, I'd..., they'd...,
well, I don't know what would happen. <darkly> But it would be a Bad Thing.

   Thanks. I've raised Bi awareness if nothing else. I'm considering trying
to run Bi workshops for the GL groups on other campuses - some of whom I
have met. Strangely enough they generally have seemed far more bi-friendly.

   I think I already said this, but I'll provide full details & tactics
of the situation so far for anyone who wants it. To tell the truth, though,
a hell of a lot of it was lifted from the discussions I've seen here.
(Hah! I said I'd been in contact with the international bisexual movement
over the computer to the GL Soc. That put some wind up them!)
