Yeah ... especially when you need to communicate to people who need to stretch their minds.
I just figure: sexuality is complicated, and breaking off from pre-existing convenient social structures makes one's reality still more complicated - but if one can make it work, it has to be worth it. Ultimately, you'll be true to yourself.
You know, thinking more broadly, I wonder if we're well into the age of process - that the very goal, the old way of speaking of a rule and deriving process from it has been completely turned around, or indeed jettisoned...or should be? I don't know if I'm being terribly clear - I can try to clarify that if you don't quite follow.
I guess I just figure that life is a dance, a process, a conversation - and sexuality is part of that, and is as much a conversation with yourself as the people around you and with you (and non-people, to be fully honest about the range that conversation can take). Moreover, it's a conversation that may never conclude, and perhaps shouldn't - finality is a kind of death, the antithesis of life, so embodied by sex.
Now I'm well down the philosophical-path, probably well trodden. :-)
