I have a few questions. And I thought: where better to ask them than here?
My first question is why do we call our wives (and other ‘significant others’) ‘amateur wives’? I’ve had a couple of wives and, yes, the first was a bit of an amateur. She did what she had to do. But she didn’t really study. She didn’t really train. She didn’t really develop her repertoire. Whereas my current (and probably final) wife is a true professional. She really works at the wifely things. Calling her an amateur is, quite frankly, a bit of an insult.
And if we are going to have a thread for unshaved amateurs, should we not also have a thread for unshaved professionals? Or are unshaved professionals just not that sexy?
And then there’s the business of some people being ‘curious’ – as in bi-curious. Isn’t curious where we all start out? Don’t we all start out wondering what it might be like to be ‘ambidextrous’ (as a friend of mine used to say)? And then, having investigated, having perhaps ‘given it a test drive’, isn’t that when some of us decide: ‘You know what, I prefer women’. Or ‘I prefer men’. Or ‘I’ll have some of each, thanks’.
Answers on a postcard …. Well … you know the drill.
