Subject: M-TH: sex under communism


I think part of the problem here may be that we are using different
definitions of heterosexuality. Consequently, in order to satisfy Yoshie
and Leo, I'm going to omit reference to heterosexuality, homosexuality,
gays, lesbians, straights, and bisexuals in my questions below.

Question 1: is there any reason to believe that the last [g)] of the
following combinations will become a minority sexual preference under
communism?

a) women + women sex

b) men   + men sex

c) women + men & women sex

d) men + women + men sex

e) celibacy by women

f) celibacy by men

g) women + men sex 

(one can use the expression "abstinence from sex" if one doesn't like the
connotations of "celibacy").

Question 2: even if one could suggest reasons for an increase in the
proportion of people engaged in a) thru d) above, is there any reason to
project to what extent the relative proportions will change?
