I'm kinda with Bruce o nthis one--I mean there are those who eat oysters.
Personally, I find for my dietary pleasures oysters ranking pretty much down
there with mud--For myself, me eating oysters is repulsive. I have, on the
other hand, been to many shin-dings where oysters were served and I didn't
really notice others partaking. Is much like beer--I find beer to be repugnant
to my taste buds--makes me want to throw up just 'cause of the taste. But I
don't notice, or even care to notice that all my friends love beer.
Now sex, imho, isn't a 'spectator sport' (though I'm sure the exhibitionists
think it is), so I don't frequent places and parties where explicit sexual
contact is displayed openly. That's just the kind of crowd I choose to hang
around. That said, whilst walking by the lake the other day, there were a few
couples, out of the various hundreds of couples I passed during my walkabout,
that were holding hands and, *gasp!*, were the same sex!!
Whatever.
I hope someday that these occurances become so 'background noise that they won't
even be worth mentioning in a little ancedote like this...
