Maybe it's you who needs to, LR. The *** people I know have been in (on
average) longer monogamous relationships than the married couples I
know. They're responsible, reasonable, generally gentle people.

Of course I work in and live near NYC, and attitudes like yours about ***
people are rare and dwindling around here. Maybe that's why they're not
like the ones you describe that you see near where you live.
