I hope it's not Zevron

I agree. Going by what they've done in the past the actual act barely features, so I doubt the details really matter.

Toggle hump would lead to a lot of blisters, but I guess anyone using toggle hump that much will have blisters on their hands anyway, haha.

edit: @Fenn - I agree, I hope we get Alistair!

Who's that some new companion?

Edit: forgot the  to signify my joking manner.

Oh, well, when I think sex, I think genital-genital penetration. I don't take lesbian "sex" seriously. So I was more implying guy-on-guy stuff.

I don't think you have any idea how many on these boards you just insulted.  I know of at least 5 people who take lesbian sex very "seriously".

Furthermore, I think there's a thing called butt-sex you might want to get aquinted with. I could also probably link to a video that would cause you to lose your stomach contents, but it counts on the "genital" penetration node if you mean penis penetration.

And yes, from what I can tell, that'd hurt more than you can probably imagine right about now.

I would like to third the "I hope we get Alistair" motion. Zevran's hands are too scary.

Unfortunately, this topic has gone very off the topic of DA:O. If y'all can keep it related to DA:O and not generalize to topics of sexuality in general, it'll stay open. Otherwise, it's best off in Off Topic. Thanks.

Prior to the modern world, people didn't identify as gay or homosexual. People might have had relations with members of the same-sex, even exclusively, but this wasn't an orientation. In many cultures, sexual identity was built around active/passive or masculine/feminine, which is why you don’t have as much talk about or restrictions on female same-sex activity as for many that literally was not sex.

"Prior to the modern world"? That is a pretty darn broad generalization. I'm assuming you haven't just researched this in European history, or you would have said so

And I am pretty sure it is not true, or at least, not true in any sense other than the following trivial observation: of course, no other language has or has ever had a word that translates exactly to our Modern English "gay" or "homosexual", because
there ARE no exact translations between languages, and especially not where cultural practices are concerned. So, sure, no culture where a set of social understandings exactly equivalent to what we mean by "homosexual" existed. But that is true for ANY cultural term. And, of course, what it means to be "gay" or "homosexual" in our culture is hotly contested.

There were certainly cultural practices and categories of people that overlapped substantially with what we understand by "homosexual". For instance, in Indonesia, there's a longstanding tradition around a group of men who identify as "waria" and/or "banci", who adopt female dress and other characteristics and engage in gay sex exclusively. http://www.gaysindonesia.com/ As that website points out, this category is not culturally identical to "gay", but cross-culturally (and cross-temporally) there are no identical equivalents, ever.

So, yeah. I don't think it's useful to say that homosexuality is a modern invention. IMO it would be more accurate to say that homosexual practices and homosexual identity have many forms around the world and have had many forms through time... like all other human practices.

So Bill Clinton DIDN'T have sex with Monica Lewinsky after all And the impeachment proceedings were all based on a terrible mistake!

Seriously, if there's one thing I learned from that whole episode, it's that for the most part our culture doesn't agree with your definition of "sex". Which, like all other words in natural language, doesn't have a meaning outside of what the cultural consensus says it means.

His impeachment proceedings were based on oral sex, lady.

His impeachment proceedings were based on the truth of his statement that he "did not have sexual relations" with her. The whole thing turns on the question of whether "oral sex" is "sex". Which, by calling it "oral sex", you've pretty much committed to :/

Edit: And now you've replaced "oral sex" in your post to "fellatio". Well done, but too slow

Edit: Woo, an edit/comment war. My point about word meaning is that there is no place other than cultural agreement for word meanings to come from. Language is a social product. It doesn't EXIST outside its community of users.

Argumentative troll is argumentative.

[kreugan]

The fact is academics have been arguing about these issues for decades and there are still no definitive answers. I can guarantee you guys that we are not going to settle this debate here, probably not worth stepping on each other's toes about it!

Anyway, back do DA:O -

@Knight of Flowers - what's wrong with his hands?? I've never noticed anything, but I'm sure once you tell me that's all I'll be able to see. ;P

There are few things more aggravating than someone responding to my comments after a mod has told us to stop discussing the subject.

Heh... sorry Maria, you can tell me how wrong I am in a PM and sorry Kevin, didn't notice your post >< You posted while I was composing.

There are few things more aggravating than a mod interrupting a perfectly good, utterly off-topic discussion. What's the use of telling you that you're wrong where no one else can see it?!

I am willing to stipulate publically that you win the argument, just because your posts are about a million times more concise than mine!

Perspicuity ftw.
