I don't think anyone here feels that way.

just wanted to add, I tried Karen's strategy of "not bothering, just to see what would happen". got about the same results


That hasn't always been her strategy... after all, she DID just have a baby, and it came from SOMEWHERE. It has been her strategy recently.

I think the sentiment is probably accurate. "if there was ever any question in your mind...that's your answer".


I wonder about this. I used to wonder if I was an alcoholic because I drank A LOT every single day-- alone. The high point of my day was that first glass of wine from a 1.5 liter bottle that I usually finished by myself in a day or two. I'd read those questionnaires "are you an alcoholic?" and I couldn't get a definitive answer for myself.

Now, having lived with a bonafide alcoholic, I can say I wasn't. I know what the real thing looks like. Some people just drink a lot at given times and in given circumstances. Now I don't drink at all and it's no hardship, I don't miss it, it doesn't appeal to me. (I just wish I could have all those calories back.)

So wondering if you're gay... I don't know. I think the definitive thing is not whether you ever got a little buzz from seeing or reading about a sexual act involving someone of your gender, but whether you feel driven to have sex with someone of your gender to the exclusion of the opposite sex.

(BTW, being "bi" is certainly a legitimate variation.)
