Not to get OT...I agree with the point of your post, Zig'sbird.

But does this constitute cheating in the average wife's mind? That doesn't make any sense to me if it does.

Does it? No, not in the least if it's all innocent. However, the way I am I feel very uncomfortable when a woman who is not my wife attempts to give me a hug or something similarly innocent. Like I said, I'm VERY tradional when it comes to this - a bit of an oddball honestly

I have always thought of someone who is sexually attracted to both genders as being bisexual. Is there something wrong with that?

I don't think it's weird to have 'out there' sexual fantasies really. I don't consider a gay fantasy to be out there at all really. It doesn't sound like you plan on acting on it, so you can fantasize about anything you want! I know I can occassionally think some of some crazy fantasies which I would not want everyone knowing about.
I would NEVER ever want to act on them in real life, but I don't see how it does any harm at all to have an active imagination!

As long as you aren't imagining hurting someone (which I think damages the soul) then have at it!

If a man is happily married to a woman, then he doesn't think about being with someone else, nevermind another man.
I'm a happily married woman and I have thoughts about being with Denzel Washington. But I don't act on them. Because that would make me a crazy stalker. Har har.

Well, maybe not. I mean, I know a woman who feels this way, and she doesn't want other women hugging her husband. Maybe it isn't as unusual as I think it is.

Why you gotta drag the poodles into this Jerz?

She's discriminating I say. What about the other breed of dogs? Why not mention them? Why does everyone always want the poodle? I might have to report this racist thread.
