- Sorry, you seem to be stuck on that point. Neither is 'worse' in reality,
- but it can make a difference to the person being left dependent upon that
- person's individual standards. My ex-wife, one of the most homophobic
- people that I know, would have rather I went off with -ANY- female over a
- male. She felt that she could not compete with a male for one, and that is
- was sick and perverted for another.
-
- On one particular occasion, she found my stash of dildos, and she
- confronted me with them quite angrily. Now I needed male contact, and I
- decided that using latex was far better than cheating on her. To my
- surprise, she would have rathered that I had an affair. Go figure.
-
- Anyway, it really depends on the person in question and thier perceptions.
- In actuality, it should make absolutely no difference.
