While I was preparing for my "career" in the Navy, I needed to do tons of paperwork to naturalize my citizenship. The legal office knew me by sight. I was waiting there, one day, when this fellow was being processed for leaving the military, for him, a legal rejection. I had asked why. He said that he had admitted to having sex with sheep on his farm.

Of course, I have heard, in my numerous years of life, that female sheep are animals that closely simulate the human female vagina. I was told that, often, shepherds will place the ewe's hind legs in their boots to restrain them.

Of course, many porno mags sometimes advertise horses doing some craving woman.

Also in my event filled life, I have read of people (female as well as male) being involved with late night activities at funeral homes. The comments centered on the corpse's perimortem rigety of certain anatomical features of necrophiles' interest. Lubrication was commonly discussed.

I was speaking with a rather acceptable (to me) psychologist once who helped me understand human sexuality. It is as varied as hair styles or the noses on our faces. You see this from the link to a list recently posted on this forum. One sees the difficulties in such diversity when someone from the center of the bell curve looks at the outliers of it. Mom and Dad, Sunday-school-going, 9-to-5 working, white-collar people would not fit into the standard deviation range as you would think if you found out that Mom and Dad were a crossdresser and a snake worshiper, respectively. The Sunday-school pastor would probably have a fit if he knew, eh?

My sexual orientation involves little girls experiencing orgasms. Most people think I am a monster. But, am I? I would be if I hurt someone. But what if I didn't? Does that change their views? No.

I know that about them -- the middle people. I know how it is to be an outlier on that bell curve. (Shouldn't "Bell" be capitalized? Hm... never mind.) I, personally, have no problem with other people's sexual orientations. I know that some (an ex-wife of mine) prefer rough sex but when it comes to rape, I cannot accept it. Simulated rape is fine. But actual, non-consensual rape I do not. Just as I cannot tolerate someone kicking a dog or a cat.

Zoophilia? I have no problem with people of that orientation. It's certainly not for me, just as homosexuality is not. But, after all, we eat cattle, sheep, pigs, and even small birds. I mean, actually ingest their dead bodies. It's all how you visualize things. God, I just grossed myself out....

Did you ever hear of Necromancy? (Recent movie "The Physician".) It was death for any physician performing a post-mortem to learn about the human body. In the end of the movie, the main character needed to know what "Side Sickness" was and how to cure it (his mother had died from it.) He performed a post-mortem on a patient to learn gross anatomy which, at the time, was a capital offense. Yes, once they caught him, the king of the city, having contracted appendicitis (Side Sickness), asked the physician to heal him.

Taboos, for the sake of taboos, ("it's taboo because god said it is"), are ridiculous. Rape is not a taboo; sex with a corpse is.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not advocating any form of sexual encounter over others. I'm explaining how our species has a very diverse set of sexual practices and we must allow for them all so long as they are consensual.

I was going to have a chicken sandwich for lunch.....
