- Pardon me, Ellen, but I have some questions/misgivings about this statement.

- How do you think that self-esteem and personal comfort levels make a

- people will tend to be easier WRT sex (easier here not used in a negative
- way, of course), or that they will be more choosy?
-
- Certainly, if it's the former, while I have no large-scale surveys that say
- otherwise (BTW, since you made the assertion, I would think that the duty is
- yours to find surveys that support it), I know several people (including me)
- who would seem to not fit that mold.
