I am curious.

Buttercup comments on Sep 14, 2020:

I've been pleasantly surprised at how frisky and open minded women I've known have been. I think the key is making it about the mutual experience rather than the kink. If the sex is good they are usually inclined to go along with the program and as time goes on the challenge becomes keeping the sex fresh and interesting and they get eager to experiment. Too much too soon makes them feel objectified.

Human sexuality is never that simple no matter what "that" is. Some women like really deep penetration (A- spot) but even then you can get the wrong angle and hit something more tender and hurt them. A lot of women don't orgasm through penetration period

My own feeling is marriage should legally be divorced from religion and culture. So any or most the above considerations could be present. The interests of society at large such as care of children, survivorship and inheritance should be part of contract law. If you want to marry for love or to satisfy your own moral thinking have the ritual. Any people regardless of gender, sexual orientation or number of participants could write their own as long as they were competent to sign contract.

I've had severe depression and come close but in retrospect I'm glad I didn't. I had a friend kill himself recently, we'd talked years ago about him killing himself. He had multiple bypass surgeries, a tough recovery and told me he'd rather die than go through it again. He had more surgeries and chose to take his life shortly after. I respect his decision but I really miss him.

A similar idea and one I have profited by, though doubtless in a less mercantile sense than Henry intended. “He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion... Nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations. He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them...he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.” John Stuart Mill
