Really? I've just been lurking and not really found much to my interest, especially since the Pagan section took a nose dive, since all the pagans decided to go and drink themselves into a stupor over Samhein, how re you?
Maybe you are right, I've just been looking into Asatru lately. Could you suggest any sites that might give some credibal information? (I've maybe been interested in praising a few gods, hell, I even gave a bit of beer to Thor, in hopes that he might hold back the rain for a few days)

well, if we are talking about sexuality and experiences. I might as well throw in my two cents.
I don't really like to give myself labels anymore, though people would often say that I'm "gay" mainly because I have no emotional desire to engage in a relationship with women and its always been...
