I've always lived as if this is all there is 'cos the alternative is to live as if this is all there isn't... and I'm saving up all that sort of stuff for the day I croak and become enlightened !! Penguin agrees. | |

I think the gist of this seems to be try everything you fancy trying, rather than bowing to societal pressures or codes. That way, even if ultimately you don't find whatever it is you are trying agreeable or rewarding, at least you will have tried it. And come the day when you're reflecting on your life, you won't be endlessly saying to yourself, 'If only I had...' And, at the risk of indulging in a slightly patronising bit of back-slapping, the very fact we are members of this site, indicates we are not averse to straying from the straight and narrow into, well, experimentation some would say. Others may opt to call it extreme pervery. Whatever, as long as it negates the need to say 'If only I had...' in years to come. b xxx
