The only reason behins the imperative to sort people into boxes is the human drive to see what our chances are for getting shagged. I'm not being flip about this, I'm serious. Without the little boxes, people tend to run about like Eddie European Nations bit: "Oh...err...you're with him? Right and you? Yes, with, umm, sorry...hello!" -- Eddie Pedantic Gasbag Discussion Group

Very well put. Feeble attempt at organizing this mess into something one can put a handle to...the way the brain is structured - early on, we see the burny end of a candle and say "pretty!" and then get burned. (NT) -- gumtree, 11:48:16 07/11/01 Wed
- Precisely. I mean, it's all very well and noble to say that there should be no labelling of sexuality (hence no sexism, hate crimes, pigeon-holing, etc.), but at the end of the day, it would get very complicated at the cocktail party, know-wot-I-mean? (NT) -- Vex., 12:26:35 07/11/01 Wed
  - Or it could make every party into a Roman orgy! Peel me a grape, you georgeous hunk of a man, woman, boy, whatever, as longs as it's flesh (NT) -- spoot, 12:53:04 07/11/01 Wed
    - ...which would be heaven for those interested in everyone, or even just perhaps interested in a little something-maybe with anyone, but what about people who are less open? The strictly straight or the strictly gay? If everything's a spectrum it means there are two ends, and those two ends would be miserable in a category-less society, yes?
