NOT appropriate for this list.....No one is going to benifit from it....and

>Ok friends I am compelled to say something some of you may not like it
>but here it goes.  The poem forwarded was in my opinion vulgar.  But
>this raises an interesting question some of us have "mature issues" that
>may or may not be dealing with sexual questions.  Baring in mind that
>some of us do not have a lot of close friends to talk about these
>"mature issues".   Even if we did most of my able bodied friends would
>not understand the troubles I for one have with just getting a date.  I
>have a lot of female friends on the college campus I would classify them
>as good friends.  But most are scared away when I ask them on a date.

>Case and point a friend of mine asked a young attractive female out for
>me because I was not sure how she would react.  This is do to the fact
>that I got stood up for my senior prom.   But to keep a long story short
>the young attractive female told my friend that she "would love to go
>out with me", needless to say I haven't seen her on campus since.

>My point is:  Is there perhaps another list that could perhaps deal with
>these mature issues?  Or maybe just open the list up to deal with this.
>Joy:  Maybe there are young children on this list ok.  But is it not the
>parents responsibility to check what their children are reading?   It
>just seems to me society in general is scared of the word "sex" or
>"adult nature".  But I think it is a part of life that I have had
>trouble with (with this I mean the relationship front, dating, etc.  I
>was just wondering if more people had these problems and or questions.

>Finally, if I have upset some list members I am very sorry.  But I just
>think that had to be said.  Please don't shoot me.
