You do't have to feel alone in your fantasy anymore, it's easier to find people who like the same thing as you. Two consenting adults and all that.<BR/><BR/>By the way, as a gayer, I'd say a very very high proportion of people on Gaydar, are looking for bog-standard gay sex leading to a relationship; it's rather disingenuous to link it to anything "extreme" in this way, notwithstanding the "bugsharing" issue you raise, which actually had a documentary of it's own on either BBC3 or 4, sometime ago (sorry can't find link.) <BR/><BR/>It's not hard to see that these bugsharing behaviours are in some way pathological in nature (probably related to an OCD-type illness and for that reason I'd say these people deserve our sympathy more than our revulsion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-52933580085435141432008-03-26T14:58:00.000+00:002008-03-26T14:58:00.000+00:00Dizzy,How did you come by "bugsharing"?
