Decades of telling people to challenge authority is now showing "fruit" . . . .
Amethyst,
Whatever I said or did not say in previous years that influenced you to stop contributing to the forum, I assure you was not intentional, and was as you said above, my own personal views
And I apologize in advance to the mods for what follows:
However, the reason for my suggestion that this be closed is exactly that, I CANNOT express my views and or experiences in this particular topic because comments like "previous government" and "the way we were raised" are simply bullshit. People (me included) make our own choices. I like many others have been on both sides of the issues in this country related to race.
I like most others gave varying opinions on varying things, preferences on various things . . . yet the only one I constantly get challenged on is the one in this forum.
The other day in the Gym I was talking to a couple of guys (yes their complexion was different to mine) and one guy said, "I am sick of the transformation story all the time, he added, one cannot expect transformation until one is transformed themselves.
Just because some people don't want to have sex with people of a different skin tone , does not make them prejudiced, racist, close minded, stupid or anything else that they get accused of!
Forums may be a platform to discuss topics, but only a select few can say what they feel or have experienced.
The underlying suggestion that members who choose to to interact with the same ethnicity as themslevs are racist is in itself offensive.
I thought I would put a little effort in to try and "understand" things better . . . one of the interpretations that Google throws out when you search "what does open minded mean sexually" is as follows . . .
A sexually open minded person can be bisexual, but a sexually open minded person may also be heterosexual or homosexual only. A sexually open minded person means they are willing to explore and experiment within the boundaries of what they deem as comfortable for them. . . .
mmmmmmm,
I think I should check if I have this thing you call "sex addiction" . . . . . .
And if I do not, well then, I NEED to get me some . .
OK, OK, OK . . . seriously, I am in agreement with the "choose what you are" suggestion made by PIB . . . but there are those who need a little guidance when it cones to choosing . . . always the possibility of one "trying" to be a certain way.
FOR EXAMPLE:
Some would say if you are involved in a mmf then you are gay, some would say you are bi, some would say you are a pervert . . . I would say, YES !!!
