Sharon,

Yeah, ok, you got me on the "... ."  Although I did think we were 
thinking of heterosexual marriage, and mind-marriages are a bit drab, if 
you ask me.  I am more interested in bodies, carnality, 
consumation. Even spirituality is a carnal affair, yes? Isn't that what 
it is all about, not that I have figured it out yet "... ."
("..."  means  "much more could be said about this but I assume you know 
where I am leading.")

I am not sure I understand your post, largely.  I folow up with some 
comments.

Does it really?  Hmmm, I must be missing a good thing! Could you explain 
your meaning, because frankly I find the FF discourse to be very 
heterosexual.

I was playing off Don who was commenting about heterosexual arrangements, 
I think - hope.  

All this intended busting in, lacking, making points, smacking, and 
finally, amazement! I love it!
