Nope. Would treat it like any other dry spell. Would smuggle porn and give my hand a workout on a regular basis.

No one really knows what they would do in that situation after years of lock up...

Affection towards someone else, is something that can build slowly and over time...in a setting like that, it more than likely would go in stages...

Just like falling in love with someone of the same sex...you don't really every plan to...it just happens...

Although i suppose it's possible to develop deep feelings for someone of the same gender, after years of being locked up together, without nessisarily crossing the 'physical affection' line...

Again...it's hard to predict...there are many unknown variables that haven't been presented to people, who think they would know what they would do, based on where they're at now physically and emotionally...but not where they would be emotionally after 10 years of lock up...

That's why I like your response...cause none of us know, until put into that situation...

Actually, I do know. And I know I would not be getting involved with another man. You can say that for you, that may or may not be the case. You can't say that for anyone else.

I am affectionate toward my friends, male and female. That doesn't mean I want to have sex with them.

Just like falling in love with someone of the same sex...you don't really every plan to...it just happens...

Uh.......no, it doesn't.

Again, brotherly feelings, friendly feelings, and "I wanna do you" feelings are not the same. You can have one without the others.

Again...it's hard to predict...there are many unknown variables that haven't been presented to people, who think they would know what they would do, based on where they're at now physically and emotionally...but not where they would be emotionally after 10 years of lock up...

I really don't understand why you think this is so nebulous and uncertain. Where would I be after 10 years of lockup? I probably wouldn't be around.

I don't see myself playing for the other team at all.

Relax Lucario...

I'm just pondering out loud, for others who may not be comfortable enough too...

Kind of like brainstorming...it's just an excercise in possibilities and makes one more aware of self...

But again I assert, none of us no what we would do or how we would react in such a situation until put there...

It's hard to be realistic with self and say what one would or wouldn't do, when emotionally and physically we are currently nowhere near that spot...

Most responding to the question are in a current state of 'wholeness'...have their lives in order, family support, have their belongings, have money, friends, a lover a job, hope and future ect ect...

Until one has been stripped of all the above...not for days or weeks or months, stripped of the above for years, decades....it's hard to say how one would begin to relate to others around them in a prison setting...

(Until one has been abandoned by the 'world'...family and friends...it's hard to say how one would react to different emotional stimuli in prison)
(alot of ethics or value systems that matter out here, might not matter at all, in there)

We do know...that people tend to 'bond' when facing adverse situations together...that comes naturally...you bond with those your suffering with...

Also, long ago I use to correspond with female prisoners in California...and they would tell me all sorts of things...

Seems amongst both males and females, in the absence of the oppositte sex...family roles are still fulfilled...not based on gender, but rather on body type and or personality...

For females..in the absence of males, they develope their own hierchy...certain females take on a more dominat role and deminor...

And for males...it's the same way...in the absence of females...(years of absence, not just days or weeks or months, but years) certain males are physically proned to be interpited as 'soft'...and other males are physically proned to be Alpha...

And after pro-longed lock-up...this is how certain people 'justify' their behavior...

"Well John looks like a female anyways, so he must be"...(a dillusional mirage to help ease ones conscious)...

And with the women...

"Well Karen acts tough and hard, like a guy...so she must be"....

Again, one of many ways to ease the conscious to justify an act or behavior that one other wise would not engage in outside of prison or confinment...


Here's what we do know about humans...we're all pretty much weak and frail...and are only 'strong' when everythings going our way...it's easy to stand on principle, when you have law and order on your side...and the cops around every corner to respond to your slightest gripe...

But when thrust in an enviornment where there is no law and order, where you have no more support, no more money, are totally helpless...you would be suprised the kind of comprimises you would make with yourself, in order to survive emotionally and physically just another day....

This is a tough one. First,I have no intentions of being locked up, 'cept maybe handcuffs, occasionally. LOL

I think my honest anwser would have to be, I'd like to receive, but, I wouldn't be shopping downtown.
