Ann Landers' Latest_______________________________________________
Ann Landers tells us that if bisexuals are forced to
choose between MOTOS and MOTSS, they will "invariably" choose
MOTSS.
Any thoughts on this?

All you have to assume is that in a homophobic society, few people who rate 3 or less on the scale will even admit to being bisexual in the first place, since they can get along reasonably happily as straights. --Per Bothner ARPA: Bothner@su-score UUCP: ...!{decwrl,ucbvax}!shasta!bothner

> Ann Landers tells us that if bisexuals are forced to > choose between MOTOS and MOTSS, they will "invariably" choose > MOTSS. Puke, puke. As a bisexual, I am currently happily monogamously engaged to a person of the opposite sex. If my marriage lasts for the rest of my life, as I hope and expect that it will, then I will never again be sexual with a MOTSS. So there!

Using Ann Landers as an authority on sexuality, is roughly equivalent to using Henny Youngman as an authority on neurosurgery. But the question is an interesting one, especially for people who have an SO whom is bi. It's been my experience that bisexual means exactly that, and if your bi-SO is going to chippy on you, it's about a 50/50 chance, as far as gender is concerned.

I misread it the other way too. She seems to be implying that all bisexuals are REALLY mostly gay, and when push comes to shove (whatever that means), they drop the pretense. This probably has some basis in fact (i.e. there are some people who fit that description), but not any more so than Per's countervailing phenomenon. What the hell does Ann Landers know anyway? Any such black and white statement seems founded in ignorance to begin with. -- Sport Death, Larry Kolodney (USENET) ...decvax!genrad!teddy!lkk (INTERNET) lkk@mit-mc.arpa Life is either a grand adventure, or nothing. - Helen Keller
