An open letter to all pagans, Bi's, and lusty creatures..
| 
Nov 8 16:54 UTC 1994 |
Hello. As this shall be my first item ever entered here on Grex,
i hope you will be kind enough to overlook any minor flaws that may arise.
I am highly interested in several things; first of all paganism, in
all its' myriad forms, has always held a strong attraction for me. secondly,
I am (perhaps too) intersested in sex, and all the wonderful ways it can
take shape. Thirdly, I'm bisexual, and have always had difficulty
meetingothers. My question, then, is is there anyone else here at all like I
am? Even two of the three above points would be close enough for my taste.

One last thing; if you are too uncomfortable with publically responding
I spend a lot of time in party, or you could mail me.

greetings and salutations!! obviously, everybody on this cf is interested in
paganism in some form or another, and most of us are interested in sex.
ask away! those who know anything will usually answer. and don't worry.
most item's i've stuck in somewhere are screwed somehow or antother.

Scads of paganfolk of various sorts on this system. Many of us enjoy sex.
A few are even bi. the tone of this particular conference seems to be an
odd mix of very serious, even scholarly, discussion of the details of various
pagan traditions and magical skills combined with some utterly silly, friendly
by-play and horsing around. Usually by the same people...<g>
For example, have you any experience working with sex magic or tantra? Have
you found the energy in single-sex groups or those led by gay couples to
be much diffent than in mixed/hetero groups? Have you found magical
compatibility and sexual attraction going together or being mutually exclusive?
Do you think the percentage of bi/gay pagans is any higher than in mainstream
society? What about the percentage of members of non-standard households in
the pagan community? How does your sexuality fit in to your religion? These
are all the sorts of questions that would be really interesting to explore.
After you've been around a while, you will probably find that you get ribbed
a bit, join in the silliness, etc. and in general, that we are all friends
here.
Be very welcome, Selena.

One question I'd like to answer: I'm still going to contend, that while
the ratio of bis and gays to hets is probably only slightly higher in the Pagan
community, the ratio of open bis and gays is probably higher. Most people
who know I'm a Pagan know I'm bi, and vice-versa.

Re 0 - Sorry, I'm only one of those three, you'll have to
guess which one. >8)
Brighn - Makes sense to me. If you're out of the broom
closet with your friends, you may as well be out of the
sexual-orientation closet as well.

It's just as possible that someone wouldn't be interested in sex,
as it is possible that I'd be so damn preoccupied with it. It's called
the sex drive, and everyone has their own individual "idle" rates. I've
recieved plenty of ribbing about mine, in the past, so let's not get on
robh for being at the opposite extreme, okay? For one thing, it's a
major turn-off..

Am I the only one who constantly sees the conection there and the obvious
thing it suggests? I gues I'm the only morbid one in the bunch.
That's a good thing, I'm sure.
