Dear Anti,

For centuries, the societies of the Western world
have shrouded sexuality in myth, taboo, and
ignorance. Even sociologists, supposedly dedicated to
studying social behaviour regardless of the
prejudices and obstacles in the way, did not accept
human sexuality as a legitimate field of research until
after World War II. Yet the fact remains that every
society contains two sexes, a feature that obviously
has important and far-reaching implications for
personal behaviour and social life.

Sexuality is a significant ingredient of individual
personality. Some aspects of human sexuality are still
imperfectly researched, partly because continuing
social inhibitions have hindered the accumulation of
the necessary information. I won't go into a thesis of
the nature of human sexuality, sexual behaviour in other
cultures, cultural universals, restrictiveness and
permissiveness, sexual conduct, traditional values,
contemporary practices, double standards, or sexually
transmitted diseases et cetera.

Suffice to say that human sexuality is extremely flexible;
for this reason every society makes strong efforts to
regulate it in culturally approved ways.

Yeah but do you own a dildo Foxy. And are you really that flexible?

foxy, of course human sexuality is very varied, yet there is an underlying sameness. There are few men who don't respond to pornographic images, even though they may express horror that they were aroused. That suggests that the response is wired pretty deeply.

Many female rape victims tell of becoming lubricated, despite obviously not being emotionally aroused.

Once again, it's a deep response.

CJ, don't worry, some men have always been "different": noone thinks any the less of you. Really...

OK Antiseptic, I've got more proof of pheromones!

The wipe-on sex appeal wipes even come with a warning that they "can trigger powerful responses; use with caution."'

Dear Houellie,

You're a "class act" Sir,
no doubt about that!
