ARGGHH! Why are definitions neccessary? We are a sexual species. We like sex
and get it any way we can! Some people like it with men - other people like it
with women. Gee what a coincidence - that's all there is to choose from! What
are the possibilities... mm mf ff fm. Well now with only four to choose from
(excluding of course the more esoteric mmf mfm fmm ffm fmf mmf combinations)
why does it friggin matter...!!!!! Everything beyond sex is simply icing on
the cake.

Sorry about the outburst - please resume the previously scheduled program...
