- Absolutely. This is getting beyond the scope of misc.kids, but don't
- people generally only perform sexual acts that are pleasurable for
- everyone involved? Just because you love someone, it doesn't mean you
- automatically do everything they like, in bed or out. Real life involves
- compromise at every level. Heck, I KNOW of couples who refrain from oral
- sex because one or the other (and not always the one you think) thinks
- it's gross. That doesn't mean they have to get a divorce, does it? So
- anything which makes the act seem less gross to my son's future friends
- makes the compromise more likely.
-
- (Then, too, not all physical relationships are between those who
- are devoted to one another. Frankly, if Morris avoids these relationships,
- I don't think he's missing much, but it still technically contributes to
- my answer of "absolutely".)
-
- Besides, who wants to be fellated by someone who finds doing it to
- you distasteful? (oh, geez, half the men under 25 are thinking "I do" --
- but I mean adults.)
