Well, since I'm in here, I guess I may as well post a bit about me.
So, hey, I'm TerrisUS (or, well, I suppose I'm Eric, but, whatever >.>)
I'm male, straight, no interest whatsoever in guys. Also married, not that that's necessarily stopped anyone, but, you know, pretty well set in my ways :þ
At the same time, I was born and lived the first 28 years of my life in Northampton, Massachusetts (for anyone familiar with the area, it has a very sizable population of people of all sorts of orientations and identifications and everything. Also an all-female college), so, I've spent most of my life in an area where these sort of things were very common/open/accepted (relatively speaking, anyway), and have always just kind of seen all of it as fairly expected and nothing too out of the ordinary.
Of course, I realize the world's not like that. And that kind of sucks. In general I feel that everyone should treat everyone else nicely, and that people should do everything that they can to get along with each other and be happy. And it really sucks that the world isn't like that at all, because that would be nice.
At the same time, I'm pretty strange. I have an extremely low sex drive. As I mentioned in another topic recently, I regularly go months without masturbating (and that's been the case even back in my teens), didn't have sex until I got married (which was when I was 25), and regularly go months (or longer) without having sex (much to the chagrin of my wife, and her extremely high sex drive). So, that often creates issues in our relationship, and seems to generally make me the strange one any time the conversation comes up. So, hey, as I said, I'm strange >.>
And so, aside from the above-mentioned points of having grown up around it, and wanting other people to be considerate of how I am, I think the major thing is just the wishing everyone could be happy and get along and be nice to each other in general. The world would be a much more enjoyable place to live in. And, realistically, we're not here for that long, and any day could be our last - so why would we want to spend it being angry or upset or mean or something like that?
I don't know, I could ramble on about myself for a while longer, I guess. I've actually had this window open trying to patch together a message for an hour or so. I probably should just submit it, and I can always ramble on later as well.
So... Well... Hi =)
