Further, it sounds like you think that in the end you would be able to live up to the standards you set for yourself, but only after the initial shock wears off. Is this more or less where you stand?
It real life this isn't a situation that I'm in, or one that I'm ever likely to be in. And you are right I would like to think of myself as being very open minded about things, but you never really know how you will react to a situation until you are faced with it.

And to everyone let me say that I'm sorry to anyone who has been offended by the topic of this thread, or to any of the comments made by myself or others. It was never my intention to offend others or provide an opportunity for others to do so.
