Hey, there`s one of us left. :p The OP describes exactly the kind of relationship I would like as well. I hate possessive labels, and I certainly abhor the idea of getting married, although I think it`s a good thing for most people. That`s exactly what I want, friends I have feelings for, that...

I believe so. I've said all I wanted for now.

Oh, yeah. The old, dating double-standards to compensate for workplace double-standards waltz. Fair enough.

I`ll be honest, from what you`ve said, I`m getting red flags about both H and R. H due to the PDA, and R due to her inability to initiate. Both can take on different forms of insensitivity, I think. H may be very expansive toward you (which, like you, I find exciting), but she`ll neither...

We`ll probably not agree on this, so I will respond once. I was comparing equals. If I get a goofy girl and a goofy guy, and see who has more prospects for casual sex... If I get an average girl and an average guy, and do the same. If I get Scarlett Johansson and Brad Pitt and do the same...I...

So, number one, you accept an inferior agreement the reasons for which you`ve kept under wraps in this thread so far. Number two, you don`t address gender differences. If anything, if I am going to have an open thing with a woman, we will have to deal with precisely the issue of pick up and...

Even if the original equation were true, it might say more about marriage than about open relationships. I personally don`t see what's so hot about costumes, rings, and PDA in front of family members, but to each their own.

Kewl. Welcome to the club! ;) ;)

I should also`ve mentioned that I do fit the bi stereotype of needing both sexes. I connect emotionally with men, and sexually with women. It does seem essential for me to be involved with both sexes, at the moment.

There`s a great interview by one of my idols, Camille Paglia (although, I was disappointed lately when I saw an interview in which she said she "worshiped nature"; she was so perfect! :() in which she said she empathizes with men, and how terribly she floundered with women. If it weren`t for...

It`s the opposite for me. Since women tend to be more monogamous than men, after a lifetime of being unable to find like-minded women, I started considering men. I`m still very new to bisexuality, but I made out with a dude at a party last weekend and it was like a ton of bricks lifted off my...

Whoa. That`s so cool...seems rare nowadays. Everything is a money shot in public squares.

I`m a private dude. I feel neither safe sharing what I post here with IRL people, nor sharing my real life with people here, necessarily. Case-by-case, basis. I guess I might post a pic if I make online friends here, later on. It`s touch-and-go...or, should I say, hit-and-miss. :eek:

Male, connect emotionally mostly with men; and, sexually mostly with women. The men I find sexually attractive tend toward androgyny, and the women whose personality I find appealing correspondingly tend toward bisexuality and tomboyishness. Butch women (or, even, bitchy women :D) and extremely...

My vote is for both; which, at this point, sounds like (boo-hoo!) casual sex.

I see absolutely no difference between friendship and love. But, I have high standards for whom I would call a friend, as opposed to an acquaintance.

Do you live in separate households? Do you see each other everyday? How about suggesting a middle-of-the-road approach between "tell-all" and "don't-ask-don`t-tell." In other words, if you have an isolated instance of casual sex during "me time", you can keep it to yourself. If you develop...

That makes two of us. The same way I think the Platonic separation between body and mind is off-putting, likewise with the Platonic separation between nature and society. What could be outside of nature? Where is the mind if not in the body?

I`m sorry, but I`d rather conclude the discussion here, Scott. As I feel we would be going around in circles. I simply wanted to present a scientific argument I was exposed to that seemed to go against SBD; and I summarized it to the best of my ability when you asked me to. Like I said, at this...

Got it, I`m sorry. Yeah, I too find it difficult to make a clean distinction between them all. Especially because, to me, there is always some level of feeling to sex, and vice-versa. Easy though to make a distinction in terms of emphasis: polyamory - relationships; prostitution - work...
