OK, you're going to hate me saying it... but I'm already into a lot of those GAL activities. That's kind of been one of my main points in this thread. Which is one reason I'm enjoying myself quite a lot (except for the lack of sex). It's not resulting in sex however.
I'm quite used to hearing people assuming that the reason I'm not having sex is because I haven't yet done such-and-such. And when I tell them I'm already doing, or have done, such-and-such, they get annoyed.
So people assume I haven't done GAL because I'm not having sex. And if I claim I'm happy (partly because I"m already doing GAL) people assume I can't be happy because I'm not having sex. And yet you're suggesting that if I do GAL, even with no sex, I'l be happier.
OK, just picking at the details here, but you have to see how it sounds from my point of view.
