You're right, it was wrong to generalize like that. But I'm a guy who has
been neatly slotted into the "friend" category many, many, times (by,
admittedly, my own choice), and sometimes that particular role gets pretty
old. I'm not (in this case) just talking about sex, but it's in there. As
with the readings of Nietzsche, et al, there is more than one way to skin
this cat. What's true for some is false for others, and I for one am
someone who forgets that far too often.
Thanks

And I'm sorry, but I need to address this:

Umm, no. This is the sort of psychobabble that allows people justify
all sorts of scenarios to themselves that they couldn't otherwise
justify. What a person does, sexually or otherwise, is what they feel
that they can live with. Someone (male or female) with an "iron
chastity belt" chooses not to do what the rest of the world seems to be
doing for reasons of their own. Their choice. And it's up to noone but
themselves to justify it.
