This post continues the derail of this thread, but heck it's my thread, so I'll just go with it.!
"Lah de dah" (she says in her best southern accent, while twirling her parasol), I just truly do not understnad why the gentlemen who wrote these silly laws would want to spend their times thinking about such things. I just truly do not."
For my entire adult life, It has been beyond my ability to understand why people care about these things. More times than you would believe, in my hippy days, I was approached by people (usually red neck guys or elderly women) who wanted ask me a question about a young man standing in my vicinity who was sporting long beautiful hair. (Note: I have always had a thing for masculine people with clean shiny long hair.) The question was "Is that a boy or a girl? Invariably I would say something along the lines of "Are you interested in having sex with them? Often people would just walk away after that question, but sometimes if they stayed, I got to say ... " because if you're not interested in having sex with them, I don't see that it matters. And isn't their hair beautiful?"
Can you just picture the dudes with the powdered wigs, wearing the hats with the big plumes in them, sitting around the conference table when the revolutionary army was forming and discussing what sex acts they were going to throw men out of the army for? Or Teddy Roosevelt, while taking the picture of the eight foot tall grizzly bear, looking over his shoulder at his military companions and saying .. "Now generals, I just want to make sure, you do have it in the universal code of military conduct that the men can't have sex with bears, don't you?
It's not that I have never given a thought to other people having sex - of course I have. But to CARE about what they are doing (unless they are doing it with my partner.) enough to actually write a law about it - supporting or damning - either way, I just don't get it. It confounds me. I also can't imagine the scene in the court martial where these act are described as criminal. I mean seriously, these generals are not getting their dicks sucked? Maybe that is why they want to start all those wars. Hey maybe that is the way to bring peace to the world - to ensure that all the generals are getting a daily blow job, so they are relaxed and happy and not stressed and aggressive.
Smooches, (avoiding all illegal smooching areas.)
