:) Who started the metrosexshule crap anyway? Oh, wait. I looked it up, 
http://www.wordspy.com/words/metrosexual.asp. B. Ehrenreich discussed this 
phenom in _Hearts of Men_, linking it to Playboy's earliest issues where 
Hef and his writers declared revolution against the Tyranny of Wives [1]:

"[Playboy's] real message was not eroticism, but escape...from the bondage 
of breadwinning. For that, the breasts and bottoms were necessary not just 
to sell the magazine, but to protect it. When, in the first issue, Hefner 
talked about staying in his apartment, listening to music and discussing 
Picasso, there was the Marilyn Monroe centerfold to let you know there was 
nothing queer about these urbane and indoor pleasures....Hefner's 
Pepsi-clean version of [sex] was there to legitimize what was truly 
subversive about Playboy. In every issue, every month, there was a Playmate 
to prove that a playboy didn't have to be a husband to be a man." (p. 51, 
_Hearts of Men_)

re: Clinton. Like the young girls I used to work with in a program to 
reduce the very high rate of teen pregnancy in my hometown, it's not really 
sex if you don't dip your stick "down there." Hummers, anal, hand jobs, 
tossed salads, rainbows... (see Oprah), you can do it all and still be a 
virgin!

As for Republican Singles, Jesus' General is slaying me again!

Neither double eyelashes nor the blindness of night or day can obscure the 
glaring fact that American marriage can no longer e accepted as an estate 
in which the sexes shall live half-slave and half-free."
