- Interesting tidbit:

- A few weeks ago,
- Ann Landers wrote in her column:
-
- -----begin article----------
-
- "...On Nov. 4, 1984, I asked the following question:
- "Would you be content to be held close and treated tenderly
- and forget about "the act"? Reply YES or NO and add one line -
- 'I am over (or under) 40 years of age.' No signature necessary."
-
- . . .

- ----end of article---.

- Now granted, the sample was probably biased as it was only those
- who felt strongly enough about the subject who probably wrote in, as well
- as those who read Ann Landers in the first place. So, I am curious
- how the guys in the netland (a much less biased population, I am sure :)
- feel about this issue. Are there any GUYS
- who would answer YES to the question in the survey?
-
- The question sure is hard to interpret. Due to health problems, my late
- husband got to the point where that was all I got. Was I content with it?
- I guess so since I did not badger him about it or go out and find a volunteer
- for more. Would that be my first choice if all options were available:
- 1) cuddling only 2) act only 3) neither 4) both
- This is another question entirely -- is it what she had in mind?
