Imagination, understanding, sensitivity, thoughfulness, and openness are essential for any kind of intimacy. Deep conversation between a man and a woman can be, or can inspire, an eroticexperience, as can any shared experience that stirs one's sense of the infinite worlds within us. Why say all of this? To show that I am not content to live on the surface, or to be limited by conventional thinking (most of which is programmed responses), or to follow predictable patterns of behavior. The latter point may explain why I have avoided self-description and all the usual comments that suggest sexual starvation. Lest you wonder, I am not unusual in appearance and could even be taken for normal.
