In reference to Joe Weinstein's article, I agree that people are usually
better off when they are comfortable and happy with the sexual part of 
their nature, REGARDLESS of the DEGREE to which they choose to exercise it at 
a particular time.  **BUT**  the man who suggests that we "share our mutual 
appreciation in graphic terms" when I have just finished learning his
first name (!!!!!!) risks, at best, a curt reply, at worst, a slap in the
face.  (Depending on *how* he suggests it and whether he shows any 
indication of concern for my views on the subject.  But it's been my 
experience that men who suggest this on being introduced are not terribly
interested in the opinion of the woman -- just "yes" or "no".)  Am I alone?
How 'bout the rest of you single women -- or men -- out there?  What would
be your reaction?

note -----> this is NOT a personal attack.  I merely mean to point out that
the strategy Joe seemed to be advising could definitely fail in my case.
