A fannish friend once told me she felt guilty for not having any bisexual urges.

Word! to that. Sometimes I feel guilty that I don't join in the sort of virtual flirting that seems to go on in the slash community. It's interesting, feeling like the only girl in fandom who finds breasts to be devoid of any interest. Sometimes I feel like I should join in just because everyone else does it-- but in real life I'm not a flirtatious person, so it would be a fictional flirtation (which has another name, too: "lie").

(I told her I'd do my best to be open-minded.)

That was rather nice of you. :D
