So I’m playing with the idea that “sex” is literally nothing but friction-induced nervous discharge that can easily be self-administered.
And that everything else we attribute to “sex” is actually a set of culture-driven assumptions, many of which may have way more to do with concepts of “property” than mutual enjoyment.
I’m not saying it’s true. I’m just wondering what we could learn about our pursuit of sex if we looked at it that way.
That’s all for the moment. I’m mostly away from my computer this weekend and I may have a lot more to say when I get back. I just wanted to get it out there.

Not really related, but I started (and now am almost done with) I'd Rather Eat Chocolate today ... I'm enjoying her writing style, but finding the book a bit frustrating, especially considering that, in Kip's position (and I have been), I'd be a lot less forgiving ... wanted to say thanks for the book idea, though.
[Oh good, WG. Yeah, Kip's pretty admirable, but really he's yet another example illustrating that love conquers all. Sewell's also pretty admirable for the compromises she made. All in all a pretty admirable, if slightly star-crossed, match. Thanks! --fl]
