if only this is true:

I don't like it. Maybe in some cases it is because people care about Alby and are trying to help him understand himself.... but the repeated 'you are gay' reminds me of highschool behavior.

As a heterosexual male does looking at that woman's body make you throw up in your mouth or fill you with revulsion? Would you describe that as normal human male heterosexual reaction to viewing an about average scantily clad woman? I'd honestly like to know.

Would you describe an aversion to viewing the feminine form as something normal heterosexual males have or would you think that was more normal for males who were not attracted to females?

[Jon Miller]

I wouldn't.

And I understand that there is reason for the 'you might be gay' or 'you are gay' statements.

I just know that Alby does get it very often, and it does seem to be similar to the hassles that guys who don't conform get in highschool.

That's fair enough. I guess I can say this: We do give Albie a hard time, he often brings it upon himself by making outrageous statements which others very much disagree with (like claiming a woman with an average to slightly above average figure makes him throw up in his mouth), but he is very much entitled to his own opinion. I do think his sexual preferences are very much outside one standard deviation from the heterosexual male norm on a standard bell curve, this could be because he likes enormously fat women or because he likes very skinny mannish looking women or because he doesn't like women at all, but none of those things are bad things. He's free to **** or not **** any willing adult he finds attractive. I do think he's a closet case but I don't think that's a bad thing just something he is repressing because he believes it to be socially unacceptable (probably from a religious point of view but if we're honest most repression has religious origins).

Not in her current state.

I think Albie's desperation/frustration levels might cause him to overlook the decay thing....


Allegedly one of the ambulance personnel who carted off the body is meant to have gone for a postlife boff, figuring he could say he'd had sex with Marilyn Monroe.

To quote Kanye West, "It all got to be dimes? Well Adam gave up a rib, so mine better be prime".

Good lord ! And I thought that was Jean Paul Sartre.


What a philosophical truffle hound you are.

Point. I think people wouldn't be so hard on Alby, if he didn't come in with such ridiculous statements, designed to elicit a reaction.
