- While I have had a lot of sex with folks (M & F) without any emotional
- connections, lately the emotional and the trust side of the
- relationship is truely important to me. I can't imagine that I would
- want to have sex with a man unless their was some strong emontional
- connections. Since I am rather strong on conmitment these days, that
- would be important too.

- I find that I use the same definition - I see bisexuality as a
- very personal thing. For me it is part of my overall willingness
- to connenct and relate to all people.
