Cherry Eugene What is Greek? On Wednesday {ODE. March 2) I had the pleasure of reading vour delightful commentary on the ethit s of homosexuality Since von begun with the word "confused." and ended with tin word "Greek." I was immediate ly amused. You defined intercourse us "a means to the end of procreation, which happens to he pleasing " 1 assume that you meant to sa\ that intercourse is a means to continue procreation. Theoreti i ally, homosexuality could he a means to the end of procreation, but let s not get technical. I am not homosexual I fre quently enjoy sex yvith my girl friend, yet yve never work toward procreation. On the con trary. she consistently demands that my baby maker is adorned in rubber, the primary function of yvliu h is to stop procreation. We are not perverts against nature (though at times we may be perverts). In the fai e of over population. yve are working for humanity She suggested that it could also be possible lor her to have sex with you, and not find it pleasurable at all.
