Thanks, Cossie, although you stole every sentence and argument I was planning to write. And some.
The recent discussion, with nice people being fired at, relentlessly, explicitly and through innuendos and unfinished phrases, makes me very sad, because it makes this a less interesting place to pop into, and it certainly takes away the good fun.
Because I've found some very good friends here I'll keep visiting this forum regularly, and I do hope that more visitors will be as lucky as me, and not be scared away.

Where does it say that Life..... life anywhere is fun?
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

For me, fun is a part of the definition of life.
A life not enjoyed needs to be changed.

I could easily have fallen into the abyss of bitterness if I hadn't fought against it, a couple of times like fighting for my own life. Be assured, the fun I have now has indeed been fought hard for.

Dear Uncle Jim,
I almost feel guilty. I think I've had the fun without the struggle - or so it seems to me.
I don't think I've had agonising separations from a loved one. I have been head over heels in lust and it's been unrequited; perhaps that's the worst I've encountered. But maybe having to conceal one's feelings (since acting on them would have been illegal at the time) was a strain.
Of course I've missed the fun of multiple relationships since I was married nearly 45 years ago. I was tempted but never fell. From what I remember of life when I could go to bed with anyone that would join me - that sort of life was full of anxiety and pain. I don't really regret giving it up. But, of course it was exciting too.
Now I'm old I wonder what I've missed. What about you, Uncle Jim? Do you have regrets? They won't be the same as mine, I guess, because I suspect that you din't have the option I did of adopting a heterosexual lifestyle. And now granddaughter Anna says I'm weird because I say I'm mostly gay.
Whatever I've given up it was worth it for Anna and doubl;y worth it for Gemma and Tom and Megan.
The thing about the world nowadays that warms the cockles of my heart is to read of gay couples adopting and bringing up children.
Love
Anthony
