Charles:


> I'm so glad you sent the above. Your sending it brings out of the closet
an idea that seems to be in some gay liberationists' minds: that they are more sexually "sophisticated" than straights!

Fabulous is as fabulous does Charles. LOL

Seriously: you put the word sophisticated in quotes and maybe we need to interrogate it: you have a sophisticated knowledge of the law; Doug has a sophisticated knowledge of Marx (and piss poor appreciation for musical comedy); Queer Dewd has a sophisticated knowledge of feminist history; one lboster (sorry I forgot who it is) has a sophisticated knowledge of gaming; I have a sophisticated knowledge of sexuality.

What is so bad about acknowledging expertise where and when it exists?

^^^^^ CB; So, what means "sexually sophisticated" ? So, you've decided that you are the one with sophisticated knowledge of sexuality ? How you reach that unbiased opinion ?


> Ah yes, we're going to let researchers for the Journal of Homosexuality
set the standard of sexual "sophistication". What a "weird idea" of unbiased opinion that is.

The researchers were almost all straight.

^^^^^ CB: Uh huh, sure. They must have low self-esteem. What's the sexual "philosophy" of the journal of homosexuality editorial board ? How come it's not the journal of sexuality ?
