..is 180 degrees from your first post, and it's received 180% better. As I've read the things I've responded to over again, and I've really prayed and thought a while considering everything, I would have to say at the least I contradict myself quite often. I do sometimes ask for help and push it away at the same time- as it's been pointed out. Not that I think there's any danger of it, but please don't take it personally- as I'll try not to take your posts personally either. I wonder though, who you are that you are 90% sure you've witnessed the same relationships I have. To be honest there are very few BLs who have, though there's smaller knit group that you may assume accounts for a larger majority than it does. Even if that's the case, it would be fair to say the sample is fairly representative of the whole. You are correct in that I do overstate my relationship to Bach. While I consider him a friend, a 'close friend' is easily a misrepresentation. To explain my use a bit, I consider everyone who does not desire to hurt me a friend- even you. So a person who is at the least a trusted acquaintance falls under 'close friend' in my vocabulary. There's little to nothing I wouldn't trust Bach with, though that's an indicator of his character more than the depth of our relationship. To jump back to the relational experiences, while I will probably continue to press the direction I have until I'm confident it's wrong, I do concede that the relationships I've experienced/seen could very well be strongly deceptive. Being a BL myself I know the ease of which you can hide even the biggest elephants under the rug for a time... So moving forward- what very specifically do you feel are the exact negative consequences to sexuality entering an AF/YF relationship? I'm interested in your comments about extra-marital sexuality, but lets put that off till later eh :) Peace and Love, PlatonicDieci |
