Well, for the non-straight list members, perhaps it'll
be a relief to know that the Vya:a:hn culture thrives
due to the fact that nearly the entire society is
homosexual. (Heterosexual relations are generally only
for the purpose of reproduction, and this tends to be
between opposite-sex close friends)... I won't go any
further is describing it, yet, though.

BTW, just a personal note, it's a bit discouraging
that a *conculture* would hold views as that of
Phalera.  What is so dirty and unclean about gaiety,
anyhow?  Hmm, to each his own (chaqu'un a son gout,
non Christophe?)!
