- My editor isn't working. apologies: A.N. Roquelaure (Ann Rice of course)
- wrote Sleeping Beauty (or the Taking of Sleeping Beauty, I think), and
- its sequels, Beauty's Punishment and Phooey oops Beayties Release,
- as pornography. It's High Quality Literature and has plots adn stuff
- for those people who don't necessaliry like to admit they like it
- 'cause it's hot stuff. Maybe it's not ofr the weak of heart or stomach
- or sexual preference (it's got lots of SM in it, in fact that was
- pretty much the point), but I like it anyway. The upshot is, that I'd
- say it's bi-porn (actually I call it erotica because I tend to think
- of the difference between porn and erotica as a qualitative one),
- because it doesn't necessarily feature bis in poly contexts only. It
- features bis in a variety of different contexts, one-to-one, same-sex,
- mixed-sex, grouped, you name it. It's not all the same scene over
- and over. Which I think is pretty much descriptive of bis in general;
- we don't all do the same things in the same styles. Although I will
- admit that all this sounds like I'm saying "all bis are into SM "
- which of course ias a common misconception that I know and I hoipe
- all of us here know isn't true...you never know...ANyway.

- On a tangent, I'd like to mention that I once had a girlfriend who was
- bi and seemed to feel she had to act the part, i.e. she thought
- the proper way to be bisexual was to wander about with a man on one
- arm and a woman on the other. Played havoc with us, he and I got
- along muc better when she wasn't around, although he suffered from
- the complex of "{the girlfriend of my girlfreind is my girlfriend"
- and kept trying to get me into bed when he thought I wasn't looking.
- Anybody else have this happen? I'd like to think I'm not unique. I
- do tend towards polyamory but I think it has to be done right. So
- I don't do it too often. How did I get ont o this toic...oh yes,
- pornography. The point, if there is one, being that I don't be bi
- the same way she be'd bi, and I know everybody else desn't be bi
- the same way either, so why should our porn reflect only one way
- of being? (Christ, shut up, Ximena, you're rambling,shit, I'll
- stop now/...oops fuck this mindbogglingly stupid machine...
