clarification

Okay, in response to all the comments I had on my last post. It's true that at this point my bisexuality is largely theoretical: it's a way that I position myself for political, social, and academic purposes. When I was in high school, I ran cross-country (it was the easiest sport to get away with, and participation in at least one sport was mandatory at my fascistic school). One of my teammates, Zeus (as he called himself) slathered up my back with ben-gay one afternoon to help me relax a few muscles that had tightened, and I do believe he got off on that. So that's sort of close to an actual experience. So I don't have any current boyfriends, but I'm contemplating putting an ad in craigslist and seeing what happens.

Regarding my "poly" relationship. Well, LSW did catch me about six months ago--I had met a woman at a bar one night and couldn't help myself. We ended up smooching, right there (I know, stupid, stupid, but fun). It was only that--a bit of kissing. But one of LSW's colleagues was there, unbeknownst to me, and that colleague ratted me out. LSW was not understanding (and I don't blame her for that). She suggested I find an apartment, that we might be able to work things out in our marriage, and our family, if she didn't have to see my ugly mug (and, yes, she used those words) on a daily basis. I do see the kids every day, though. And I'm hoping LSW will take me back soon. As is, though, I have been taking advantage of my "freedom." I don't generally have sex with other women (I have a mortal fear of exchanging bodily fluids), but I love sucking face.

Okay. I just felt I needed to clarify things a bit, as my last posting may have been misleading. I'm looking forward to doing more of the "real work" of the blog in upcoming days--I want to talk about my interests in academic work, in the life of the university, and in the "real world" outside our plastic ivory tower. (I call it a "plastic ivory tower" because only pianos made many years ago use real ivory. The plastic veneers on most keys are just fine, and my university, a converted "normal school," is more than just fine, and I want to use this blog to think about what it does as an institution, and what we do as its teachers.)
