yeah, hey, KD... it sounds harmless in your case... i get what you mean... a little good hearted teasing is all ok, as long as each senses the joy and forgoes the potential pain...

i guess, like everything else, i fear that some may not understand in the context described here... only witness the teasing and 'pet' jealousies and the joy that others experience...

then, at a later time, remembering the laughter and fun others have had, decide, we need a little more of that in our own relationship... only, they havent matured or arent aware of 'healthy' jealousy and re-enact only the jealousy parts...

as it spreads around (has spread around) , soon we have serious jealousy to contend with...

but i am over-conscientous and that is a problem for me...

education is always the answer it seems, but who is coming to class?

so, as a male who seeks his ideal mate, i sort through what society has created... if societies' influences are great enough (and they are) , i can expect to do a lot of sorting...

makes for a lot of unhappy Jacks , imo
