As someone who is often left puzzled by some of Yoshie's posts (which could well be my fault), I must say that her contributions on this thread are not only clear and well phrased, but also very thought-provoking.
Thank you, Yoshie!
And Joanna: I don't think you are a prude at all (unless that's your kink ;-)). I see a (your?) point regarding "signs of sexual freedom". There is a difference between a sign and a milestone (or perhaps I should say a principle and an outcome?).
