Actually, I was quite enjoying reading this article which was was written giving both sides of the equation for the first two thirds - a situation that many people, both male and female - have had experience with. The sudden gender-swing took me completely by surprise.
Though I guess this thread may develop into yet another gender-bashing excercise, I guess, sadly, that must have been the point all along. Pity: I was hoping it would turn into one of those threads where everyone gets a chance to tell of their biggest whopper, or the one that came back to bit them on the bum,or their most embarrassing/surprising encounter. THAT would have involved everyone equally and not led to another skirmish in the interminable gender-wars.
p.s. For the record: my most desperate attempt with one who wouldn't take the hint was finally to say regrettfully "Look, I'm sure that would be lovely but, unfortunately I have a raging STI". Without missing a beat my suave companion took a relaxed sip of his Scotch and said coolly "That's o.k.: I'm not allergic to penicillan". Bluff well and truly called!.
