It sounds to me like author Mark Greene is a poofter. What a load of drivel.

He’s choosing his conclusion and working back.

Inane.

I once witnessed a man be horribly humiliated by a supervisor in front of others. Later we were talking and I wanted so much to give him a hug and show support, and I thought he could have used that. But the inhibitions of the workplace just messed it up. I’ve always thought that was sad and regretted not going with my instincts.

What a twit. I hate being touched by anyone who is not immediate family.

And yes, the sex drive of any youngish healthy male makes any attempt at a platonic relationship with a youngish female... difficult. It is supposed to. I have had women who were just friends, but there was absolutely no touching or spending time alone together.

When I feel sad and lonely, I touch myself.

Platonically.

Yeah, he does come across as more than a bit effeminate.

Yep - seems like he’s saying “give it a try - you’ll like it”...
