I have no problem with women in combat.

As long as they are PMSing and they've just been told that the Taliban chap over there sez her arse looks big in those trousers...

Many moons ago I watched a couple of lady air loadmasters on the VC10 take turns drag the multi person (50?) dinghies to the door from down the back of the Ten as part of their qualification.... They were heavy even for a couple of us guys and were almost bigger than the young lasses doing the test, I haven't seen such grim determination in a young lady as that since.

Langleybaston,

Not sure how old you are but don't forget that homosexuality was illegal in the UK until 1967, that must have had a huge effect on how people portrayed themselves. Not sure how the Public Schools managed for so long though...

As for it being a strange world, isn't it indeed a far stranger and weirder world where a Government deems it has to tell me where I can and can't put my penis in other consenting adults, and that if I do not do as it thinks I could be sent to jail? Now that is a VERY strange world...


Oldfella,

You said;

"How pleased I am that homosexuality was not tolerated during my time in the service."

Why? Why are you so frightened of it, why is it such a threat?

I ask that as a genuine question. WHY does homosexuality seem to freak out so many men?

As a very good friend of mine for decades says: 'because it isn't f...ing natural'

The 'f' word being used as a prenominal intensifier not the other sense of the word.

Any other questions about abnormal activities I can't answer.

It should also be noted that the anus is an exit, not an entrance.

Not at all happy with that logic as it should be noted that anal sex between a man and a women can be intensely satisfying, irrespective of who is the putter and who is the taker

There's a few suspicions about Seldom confirmed in that little missive...

'Seldom fit for purpose' - replace the 'el' with 'o' and it says a lot

Jolly pleased we moved from Oxon and our 'pink pound' village.

One can surmise from the use of "suspicion" that things are less than adventurous in the AA bed

I wonder how SFFP came to be aware of that "Fact"?

Oh please, do we really have to listen to old crusties and their thrusting ambitions?!

It's enough to put one off one's afternoon tea.

It's the second part of Seldom's sentence which is perhaps most revealing about him......

Indeed ... it brings a whole new take on the notion of 'whatever tickles your fancy'

Satisfaction

SFFP, you may want to consider that getting pissed and roaming the streets looking for innocents to attack, is also very satisfying to some of the great unwashed, but it's not right.

If, and I mean IF there is any cosmic reason to why things are the way they are, there is a reason that the foul smelling stuff comes out of that end; it is a reminder that you should not be in there.

For the benefit of the God botherers, the Bible mentions Adam & Eve not Adam & Steve.

Oh for goodness sake!

Out come the giggling homophobes and the macho dinosaurs.

I asked a genuine question.

I see nothing wrong with what Seldomfitforpurpose said, I am in complete agreement as it happens but I am intrigued by the 'it's not natural' nonsense.

Of COURSE it's natural, if done by consenting adults. If it's not consenting then it's like any other sexual activity, sexual assault. If you are going to take an Old Testament view then you should simply have sex for the purposes of reproduction and everything else is wrong and wholly unnatural. What is there that's natural about oral sex that isn't natural about anal sex?

A more modern view is that sex is a pleasant recreational activity for consenting adults. The moral minority may not agree when it comes to homosexuality and hetreosexual anal sex but the fact is that it is practiced by a large percentage of the population. Just because some old crusties on here find it morally reprehensible doesn't alter that fact.

Comparing consensual anal sex to "[I]getting pissed and roaming the streets [/I]looking for innocents to attack" is a nonsensical argument.
