All I can say is chaps in England must have some of the most genetically damaged sperm in the world.....'cause almost no-one in a relationship in England manages daily sex: it's more along the lines of whenever Madame can fit it into her schedule/can be bothered/hasn't a headache. I hope that the chaps across the pond get a better deal.
Still not gay yet.....but I'm certainly ambivalent enough towards the enemy gender to encourage change. I don't suppose gay folk worry too much about the potential damage to their child fathering capabilities, and I should be too old to care. 

Also, it appears being gay maybe genetic:

So my attempts to change my orientation (because, after all I'd rather be one of the sinners than the self-righteous, smug, bigoted wankers for whom heaven sets such arbitary rules) may be impossible.
If being gay is genetically determined, the religions that claim they know the mind of God are going to have to eat an awful lot of humble pie.
I reckon a barefoot pilgrimage to Jerusalem might just about cover the penance for individual homophobia....but as for the collective sin of the churches....

We could always burn the homophobic preachers and pastors....there's the chair too.

I'm becoming zero tolerant. And it makes me happy. Some mornings it's a damn good job I don't wake up in a country that has legal guns.

I suppose all my relationships revolve for about half the time around my own concerns. I may be misplacing cause and effect. I try quite hard to be in the right.
I'm clever, very well read, and sound like Brian Sewell's posher relative. And I'm particular about being right (in the sense of correct). Even my more learned and brilliant ex's didn't necessarily beat me in debate, which could, and did, sometimes rankle. Not that relationships should be about debate....but I tend to react to some offhand remarks....I'm still quite left-wing compared to, let's say, the Fox Network, or even in comparison to my last ex, and casual racist remarks, for example could set me going.
Wrenching the moral high ground away from my grasp seems to be something that every single girlfriend I've ever had has tried (barring one otherwise gay woman, it must be said). And it's not as if I compete...because I recognised that may have been contributing to my failure rate very early on. I'd just rather be right, that's all: which is not the same as 'righter than you', wherein I think lies a difference.
But it's not one that my partners have necessarily appreciated.

Actually, I'd rather everyone was 'right'.

i'm usually right. but i don't think that's what kills the sex off. because i am also massively easygoing and agreeable and not argumentative. (just right)
