I like d-m-c's point here, about normality being up for grabs.   After all,
the 
right and many others are effectively making non-coital sex matter as
"normal", 
for Clinton, in a way that it's never mattered/counted for gays/ lesbians and 
third-base virgins.  

As the parent of a one-time teenager, I know all too well how easy it is for 
folks of any political stripe to find even these, the most basic definitions, 
becoming unmoored, especially when i think about my son's having friends over, 
and their holding hands in the house in the dark, and
...oh, perish the thought.

once the shifty king of my own little hill,
