 often enough being sexually aroused by the
sight of a sexually arousing member of the opposite sex with no 
inclination as to who they are. But the feelings do subside after (if
the situation should arise) I've met them. My own personality seems to
allow me to let me *dream on* to the point of personal interaction. At
that point, I lose the previous perspective and move into the personality
analysis realm. I'm a person who enjoys being "friends" with someone much
more than having a sexual relationship, although both has happened at 
points in time. 

	Myself, I've been a celibate for the past two-and-half years (for
personal reasons) after having played the albiet gigilo and do find myself
trying to move back into my old 'neighborhood' doing the same old things.
I do have good reasons to not go back to that, but I guess they don't 
out-weigh what my desire desires.

	The only reason I would go through the whole explanation of 
my personality, is this is supposed to be a "singles" net and this
is the first good article I've seen that I would respond to. Now I'm
sure there has been SOME fairly descent articles posted in the past,
as I myself don't get too much time to read the net, but I do that
this listing could be used for much better gender.

	Well, here I sit, comtemplating the bottomless coffee cup,
pouring my heart-felt thoughts out to an uncompassionate keyboard,
knowing that it cares not if I'm aroused (sound familiar?). Think 
I'll return to the net to see if my *first try* at posting anything to the
net made it there intact.
