you guys are ridiculous. though i have to say you are not unique, the party i attended this past weekend (a hockey dad turned 40), a guy that i had never laid eyes on before, encouraged me to start kissing his wife and her friend (they were neighbors of the hockey dad, not hockey parents themselves.). The women and i proceeded to discuss the ridiculous sappho fantasies of men.
