Andy Banta posted an article a few days ago in which he used the phrase
"part of the game".  He was subsequently lambasted by the venerable chuqui
and also (I believe) robert for his insensitve "game-playing".  I am 
writing this in support of Andy.

Does anyone else out there see life as a game??  I don't mean game as in
"Games People Play" but rather game as in a friendly game of checkers.
For me a big part of enjoyment is playing the game of life with someone,
oftentimes we will want to employ different "strategy" and so compromise
becomes part of the game.

Mostly I wanted to mention that there is more than one interpretation
to the phrase "part of the game".  So lighten up, ya' hear!!!!|-)!!


Now I'd like to discuss the statement ; Men think with their penis
and fuck with their head. (Did I put that backward?)

I think there is a lot of truth to this but it is related to that
infamous phrase; A woman without a man is like a fish without a 
bicycle.  ie. It is obviously not literally true but it does point
to  a generality that is (or was) true.  It is pointing to the
fact that men have just as many sexual problems as women, they're
just different problems.  This particular expression indicates
to me that men allow their lust to direct their behavior and then
fail to bring their emotions into the bed.  Obviously some (even 
many?) men rise above this, I like to think that I do.  I also
know that I have been guilty of this many times in my life.  

I see the seeds here for a positve discussion about sexual
hangups that both men and women experiance.  I see a lot
of things changing as more people attempt to shed our societies
typical sex roles.


Now get to work, Peter!!!
