- Golly, Wally, another member of the Junior Anti-Sex League. Here's a
- free clue, Paul. _Society_ doesn't offer abstinence as an alternative
- to pregnancy. Humor-impaired, anal-retentive control freaks, possibly
- religiously motivated, offer abstinence as an alternative to pregnancy.

- Seeing as how each and every one of us has a feedback loop between our
- brains and our gonads programmed into us that recurses about every ten
- seconds, I see no need to apologize for our fascination with sex. Also,
- the psychological damage that comes when the sex drive is repressed or
- suppressed is well documented. And considering that many readers of
- this forum (talk.abortion) are married or in committed relationships,
- your advice is just plain silly.
-
- In other words, YOU CAN HAVE MY SEX DRIVE WHEN YOU PRY IT FROM
- MY DEAD, COLD HANDS!!!
-
- Hope that helps.
