No, the governmental sex education programs preach abstenance, in Europe, they say "use protection".

There are plenty of nudist beaches. There's one thirty minutes from my house. I've never been, but FOX likes putting it on the local news channels. I just can't figure out how they get those plants to always be in the right places!

But randall, I have no idea how you do this. You put everything I'm thinking into words so elequant my mouth is hanging open at how easily it's understood. You should write some kind of book, you'd be a terrific writer.
And it all makes since. That's exactly how I feel.

But everything was pretty much worked out. She thought I was hitting on her, she says we don't have a "platonic relationship" but a simple "friendship," and she became uncomfortable. She never quit emailing me back, she just had tons of work to do and I know that's true. But she could have told me what she was thinking instead of saying "everything's fine." I told her that and she totally understood. This was just one of those points of conflict that had to be worked through.

I told her boyfriend when he started harassing me that I respected the position he had to take but he wouldn't listen to anything. The issue never was whether I was attracted to her or not, but he couldn't see that.

I feel like I've finally reached the top of the hill, no I've just got to roll down the (incredibly rocky and briar filled) downgrade. But atleast the momentum will keep me going.

[EDIT]
Oh, and randall, I ended up not sending her your platonic friendship article. I came up with a nutshell metaphor that worked really well. It went something like this:
You see a flower out in the field and say, "Wow, that's a beautiful flower." That doesn't mean you want to have romantic relations with the flower.

It went right in with what the email was saying and summed up my feelings, along with a short explanation, of what a real friendship is.

I don't want to describe the entire 12 pages of emails I went through in the last 3 days with everyone involved. But it's all worked out quite well considering I had given up on it all.

I don't really care anymore, really. I'm going to let her do all the talking because I have no idea what she's thinking anymore. Since she doesn't really tell me what's really going on it may take a while, but it doesn't matter. I've got plenty to do this next month.

Hmmm. My ramblings kind of took place in early hours, now that my sleep schedule is TOTALLY screwed up. So I just kind of typed, and don't know if it made much sense. I guess to me it does, because I was there and everything worked fine for me.

I may not always have perfect relations with my wife- people argue, thats all there is to it. The fact that she has always had much higher paying jobs than me in high managerial positions (Fortune 500s, not the local McDonalds) shows that she is a strong and intelligent person. I am not known for budging either. Her job has never been an issue, in fact I am DELIGHTED that she brings in all the money.

Her boyfrined isn't your concern. You can only do what you can do.

Women like to talk about their feelings- its like they have to get them "out there". Diaries and bestest friends keep them going somehow. However, they don't care much for having their emotions contested or invalid. Somehow, logic and emotion are tied together and there isn't much separation or a difference between the two, according to them.

Nope, I don't understand them either. But its fun trying.

Oh I understand them perfectly... most of the time that happens after the fact, though. But I try my best to treat everyone one of those as learning experiences. ... I'm a good sport. I just hope they are too.
She thinks I can't talk in person either, but we never see each other anymore and if we do it's in a group of people and I don't want to talk to her like I do in private online (although now that her boyfriend screens her emails and all...). I'm not emailing her anymore though. I'll just stick to talking to her in person.
She thinks I ... look down on her, like I think I'm better than her. pfft, I have no idea where that came from, but I'm really careful how I word things now.
And the other end of that, she either thinks I'm condecending or that I'm hitting on her. Blahg, is all this trouble worth it? I hope so.

But my mom just saw the bathrooms in the freshman dorms at Florida Southern College and she was totally grossed out. Personally, they were better than what I expected. But she wants to buy or rent a home up there for me, a little apartment or tiny house. We found this perfect little 1922 Spanish stucko house with 2 BR, 1 BA, and the most perfect little dining room and connecting living room, and kitchen. She is seriously thinking of buy that for me! It's a cool pad, and it's across the street (and over a razor wire fence, but hey) from the campus. And I know a ton of girls going to schools in Lakeland, maybe I'll rent the second bedroom to one of em. Girls are so nice and clean and they make the house smell nice and they could help me keep the place neat. That would be quite the interesting situation. I can see the TV show now...
