JOAN and Jim??? Hey, I said not one word against prohibitions--or any thing approximating such. My post, which I knew I would regret, was simply a reflection on a personal experience with being hurt by women who see "sex as fun." As I ended my post, whatever . . . meaning people will do what they will do and so it goes. Jim has made five major and long posts. I made one very short and clearly personal one. A bit weird and unfair post to address this to "Joan and Jim." Give me a break here!
