Babybear, if what you say is really true, then bisexuality is the status every human being should be aiming to achieve.
On the basis of what you have written here, to have any preference sexually towards either gender over the other, would amount to a kind of sexism. To be straight (or gay for that matter) means, by inference that you are incapable of certain sexual attractions. In other words, you are inferior or deficent.
Clearly to be capable of forming a relationship the rest of us are incapable of implies these people are socially and sexually better than the rest of us.
And that is so far from the truth of bisexual people I know, it's just not true. The reality is that most bisexual people I have known struggle deeply with identity and role issues in relationships...and not just their sexual/romantic ones.

RooK, as difficult it is for one to find suitable humble servants and willing sex toys these days, exhorbitant customs duties are making it cost-prohibitive to import them from the True North Strong and Free. Or so I'm told.
Gentleman Coot, one of these days I should share with you a parody an English prof friend of mine wrote for my (cough-cough) birthday, La Belle Dame's Damn Mouthy. I've never quite figured out what a "grot" is -- grotto? grotta? grotty? -- but whatever it is, I'm fairly certain mine isn't "elfin."
Oh, and sorry, Matt, I'll be the first to say I could be absolutely wrong on this, but something about your comments on the messy and difficult struggles of adults trying to maintain meaningful intimate relationships makes me suspect that you're speaking more from the latest I Kissed Dating Good-Bye-type book and less from substantial real world experience. But as I said, I could be wrong.

Okay, explain how you made that leap? We should certainly love all, regardless of sex, but to go from that to saying that we should be able to love all in a sexual way is rather 'barking'.
You really need to learn some basic logic.

Has anyone explained to you the different between 'anecdotal evidence' and research?
I can't help wondering if your major experiences are school and university. If that is the case, then it is not suprising that you have such a distorted view of sexuality and the world in general.

![[Eek!]](eek.gif) I'm absolutely stunned that someone actually believes some (oh heck, just about all!) of the crap that is spewing from Matt on this subject!
A male colleague and I just spent the best part of a month working away from home. In addition to working closely together on the project, travelling to sites together and so forth, we also (shock horror!) stayed over in the same hotel and ate out together every night. We got on exceptionally well. In the light of Matt's postings however, I'm stunned that at no point did the slightest bit of sexual tension rear its head.
I can only suggest that this must be because...oh I don't know...we are p-r-o-f-e-s-s-i-o-n-a-l or something...
Indeed his wife was more than happy about the situation (apparently I encouraged him to phone home more than our male colleagues! ).

Hmmmm... Except of course I'm the only woman in my department Matt.
And I can't help getting the feeling that you, like some of my more backward colleagues, feel that's probably one too many. ![[brick wall]](graemlins/brick_wall.gif)

I'm not that sure about this. It's one of those things that has become part of pop. psychology in the last 20 years or so, and is ofen quoted, but I'm not sure what' it's quantifiably based on.
Although there are some ligitimate criticisms that can be made of it, the place to start to learn something rather than pull "facts" out of your ass is the Kinsey Institute. Go to the link on the "Kinsey Homosexuality Scale" to learn about the range of sexuality. I linked to the FAQ because many of the statististics therein are relevant to other parts of this discussion.
Interestingly, it's hard to find evidence on the net to afirm or deny the claim that "most people" have at least a little bisexuality. A lot of taxonomies have been explored from Kinsey to Klein (the KSOG), but few results showing distributions across those taxonomies are available on the net. (I found a site saying that Kinsey reported 18% of males fell in categories 3-6, but the crucial question is how many are in categories 1-6 since category 0 is "pure heterosexual"). Mostly, researchers still seem to be working out how to classify people's orientation in a fashion that is exhaustive and inclusive.
quote:
If it is true, it can only be true on a subconcious level. (since the majority of straight men will give a slight shudder at the idea of themselves kissing/having sex with another man even if they don't object to other people doing it).
Pure bullshit. The Kinsey Scale, for instance, is assessed on individuals based upon their conscious preferences and behaviors, and I for one question that the disgust that Matt and homophobes like him feel and direct towards same sex affection is not culturally instilled rather than normative and inate as his ilk claim without any kind of support.

No, idiot, I said it was the place to START. Most of the results on the FAQ are from far more recent studies than the ones from the forties which are rightly criticised for the survey samples (and taxonomy, for that matter). He provided a framework which others have improved upon, and the citations in the FAQ point to more rigorous and current results than the initial Reports.

You could hardly be more wrong on this one. My hatred of Joshua Harris (and Joyce Hugget too incidently...) is profound.
I insisted on their removal from a bookstall of a summer camp for 14-18 year olds I was helping run over the summer, lest the innocent young teenage minds by corrupted by such puritanical, guilt inducing, holier than thou crap.
For this I recieved some frowns, and worried looks. I'm sure people were later praying about my dangerously liberal tendancies....

That's good to know, Matt. Congratulations for taking such a principled stand. But now I'm even more worried that you actually thought up all these cockamamie ideas on your own.
Thanks for the clarification, Laura. "Elfin grottoes"? Keats got out about as much as Matt, I guess.
And Duchess, before you swoon over Boy Meets Girl, read an excerpt from Harris' latest book where he describes how his uncontrollable lust is threatening his marriage.

not sure that this is germain to the discsion, but i have found myself reminded of an incident her at the library some years ago.
a man came in and asked for books on homosexuality. he explained his situation: he was gay, but his best friend was straight. best friend had just gotten married, and best friend's wife was very concerned about her husband's friendship with a gay guy. the guy was looking for something that would allay the wife's fears.
poor guy. i gave him what i had, hope it was good enough.

Thing is Matt (and yes I know that was a simplification of a generalisation, but anyway) you've fallen down on this with the first line of your sample dialogues, never mind the rest. I have never said to my husband "I'm going out for lunch with a friend of the opposite sex". I have, on the other hand, regularly said 'I'm going for lunch with Ben' or 'Phil' or 'Al' or whoever. My husband's reactions to each of these people will be different, because of different relationships, different histories, and different contexts of each of them. The fact that they are all male is one factor in that, and certainly not the defining one.
Before I was married I admit I maybe had a bit more time for the kind of point you're making. But let me tell you, the most important thing I've learnt since getting married is that paying too much mind to all those stereotypes and generalisations about men and women can be a very bad idea. The biggest threat to the early days of my marriage was all the stuff I'd been fed about 'what men like' and 'what men are like'. It seemed my husband just hadn't read the right books and was determined to be an individual with some 'masculine' and some 'feminine' and some 'where the hell did that come from' characteristics. Quite put me off my stride at first, but now I think I prefer it......

You have the mind of a pornographer. You don't seem to be able to imagine anyone in a relationship wanting some distance without running some downmarket smut scenario in your head. Listen, we don't even have milkmen any more: you buy cartons at the supermarket.
I do not say that welcoming the absence of your spouse is a good sign: but is more likely about friction or oppressiveness in the domestic arrangement, that because there is an off-stage lover.

Look no one was delighted at our having to be away from home, but sometimes we have to do these things in the line of work we're in. Specifically, to secure future workload to help pay our mortgages etc. Whilst we don't like it, we (and our families) understand that sometimes this is necessary.
All I was meaning was that given the professional parameters, it really (as far as I could tell Gremlin, don't start !) wasn't a particular issue to anyone involved as to what the genders of those involved were. We were there to work, which is what we did.
The comment about his missus being happy that it was myself accompanying him, was merely a glib reflection on the fact I rate phoning home highly.
Matt, as Firenze has highlighted, you seem to have a strangely tuned mind about these things. Maybe it's not the genders that need separating, but those capable of mature, non-sexual, inter-gender relationships, from those that aren't.
In the meantime if you'd like to cover up with a veil and full length cloak so that the rest of us avoid any temptation where you are concerned then feel free.
But trust me, it so isn't necessary...

People people! you really do take things to seriously sometimes.
Firenze, so long as I have the rest of the anatomy of a pornographer thrown in too, it's not really such a bad deal is it?
Elsi, I accept what you are saying. There are very many considerations with the question of what is good and bad practice in the workplace: Functionality, practicality, neccessity and morality are just some of them.
It is my belief that far too often it is morality that draws the short straw. You say yourself "no one was delighted". While we all accept we occassionally have to make family sacrifices for the sake of work, it just seems to me the balance too often swings in favour of work for too many people.
Workload is malignant. It grows uncontrollably if not ruthlessly checked.The more you do, ther more you are expected to do. I've just seen enough times that when family and work committments come into conflict, it takes a huge effort of will to ensure family comes out on top.

Not a porn star, Matt, a pornographer. The one who writes the stuff. No physical attributes implied (au contraire...), rather mental and emotional ones eg prurience, voyeurism, immaturity, inadequacy that sort of thing.

Well yes. But there needs to be a bit of work done on the egg if you try to put your coffee mug, or white wine spritzer.
First hard boil the egg, then lop off the top.
Have a lovely little arcylic top made to fit, and hey presto, you have an occasional egg.

Old Punch cartoon of clergypersons eating boiled eggs.
Young curate has been asked to stay at the Bishop's palace for some reason. (I think we are in the Trolloposphere)
At breakfast the bishop asks how his egg is.
He says something like: "very good, in parts, my Lord".

I see. So, Matt, are you referring to most of heterosexual porn which features pasty nasty looking men with very young, enhanced women (ah isn't marketing wonderful), or gay men's porn which in my limited experience generally features the more attractive men.
Enquiring minds want to know... is it the nasty pudgy straight porn star you were aspiring to be, or the buff, built gay one with 6-pack abs?
Eagerly awaiting you answer, and the title of your first flick.....

Frankly, my main worry is that a "medic" thinks the mind is part of the anatomy.
Also, lets not make this egg/table/curate thing more complicated than it is. An occasional egg is simply the kind you'd find in a nest of tables. There - that wasn't so difficult, now was it?

Whereas two bottles of milk in a field is apparently a cows nest..... It all seems eminently transparent. Well, when you've drunk the milk, it is, anyway.

Ok, smarty-pants. What time-honoured (in military circles anyway) anecdote relies on -
The wire brush and the DDT?

Is this the one about the two patients with diarrhoea and one with a sore throat, and am I the only one who can't see what it has to do with the curate's egg?
