Well, I'll respond to this.  I think it is representative.  I know I have been
in situations as described.  Fortunately it happens less and less, and I am
more and more uncomfortable when it does (there, I've patted myself on the
back).  

I just read Jerry saying that this sexual preoccupation has declined for him
with increasing age, I agree.  And it feels better.  Now if I could just learn
