[Frances Morey]

One guy, when asked if he was or wasn't, he said that it had been so long he couldn't remember...

Yes there are folks who never become sexually
active, I think of ex mayor Ed Koch of NYC
who was a Liberal/Republican congressman
before serving as mayor. But I have a theory
about that. First, you render Kinsey's famous
scale from totally hetero to totally homo in a
very humerous way. You seem to think that
somewhere on the Kinsey scale there is a place
for those with no sexual preference at all. Maybe
on some other scale, not Kinsey's The midpoint of
his scale, for example, is the perfect bisexual,
desirous sex with men as much as with women.

My theory is that there the non-sexual person
has repressed his/her sexuality for one reason
or another.The sexuality repressed or not is
a given of the human condition.
