Right.  I'm sure that if you polled people, you would find that right now they
believed that such a lifestyle is not for them.  But I wonder if they're just

choices ought to be available rather than cut off for no good reason.

That is my philosophy of life.  Not just in some kind of sexual context, but in
everything.  As long as you're not hurting someone, then go for it.
