A long while ago I was asked if I thought I'd still be attracted to my then fiance, if he had been a woman. It's one of those impossible to know answers, as we can't do any alternative than the reality, but I thought it an interesting matter to ponder. My book is still so good it's one of those things when living in that world seems more exciting than living in reality. It's currently posing interesting thoughts about gender and love. I'm hoping the main character's homophobia will get challenged but am enjoying his realisation that "loving and bedding" are not the same thing at all. I think there's lots of confusion about love and sex - a very early blog topic. And it's interesting to wonder if a person's gender matters in how we love them. I'm lucky to deeply love several men and women. I don't know if my boyfriend would be my girlfriend if he'd been female - I wasn't looking for a partner when I found him. I personally don't think sexuality is always a fixed thing. Anyway, I'm off in the realms of what ifs now, which isn't usually helpful. Whoever and however you love, I wish you joy :)
