Interesting story. Yes, I remember those conversations, way back when, before AIDS and ACT-UP turned up the heat.

When I was in high school, we had at least three deviants on faculty. One was the women's gym teacher, who was a classic diesel, but as far as anyone could tell, she kept her nose clean and never did anything untoward with her girls. One was a peeping tom; when he got caught, it came out that he'd been busted for voyeurism in Denver years before, and the question came up, why didn't the School Board know this? Of course, that was the early 60's, and it wasn't as if there were a National Register of Criminal Offenders yet so that you could check to see if your neighbor had ever spit on the sidewalk or picked his toes in Poughkeepsie. The voyeur had a brief movie career, I was told, as an extra in The Last Days of Pompeii: he's the fellow who comes racing out of the Temple of Vesta clutching a Vestal Virgin in his arms (looting? just being helpful?), just in time to look up and see the entablature of the temple coming down on him. His voyeurism career ended in Louisiana, I was told later, with his being invited to leave the state.

The third teacher was the debate and drama coach, and I think he did try on some of the students by attempting to engage them intellectually with the old "Jesus was gay/John the Evangelist was gay" story......the old gay propaganda line to the effect that 50% of all the people you ever admired were gay somehow. Michelangelo, Lincoln, Jesus, Paul of Tarsus, and who have you got?

I don't know if the debate coach ever attracted the Wrath, but he was IMHO a prototype of the aggressive gay, and I never forgot it. When I encountered gays asserting to me that gays don't recruit, I automatically suspected they were lying consciencelessly for polemical effect, either on me, or on the omnipresent lurkers. Male sexuality doesn't care about the orientation of its next lay, we all know that -- I've known lesbians I wouldn't throw out of bed, but would instead unleash my own inner lesbian in response -- and the story of homosexual men, gods, and demiurges seducing boys is as old as humanity. Gay men lie like a rug on the subject of pederasty.

I believe that things have a purpose.

If by evolution or if by God( just covering the bases, I know it is by God)all living things have means by which they reproduce. In the case of humans we have reproductive organs which luckily for us give great pleasure when put to their use.

Many today like to think that this wonderful pleasure is why these reproductive tools exsist. But they are wrong. The pleasure is a by-product.

Reproduction is the purpose. And those who seek simply pleasure miss the boat. And in the case of couples who for so many reasons can not reproduce, the pleasure is a way to make their loss a little less hard.

And for those who claim pleasure is the only goal; they must have incredibly small hearts.
