Multiple comments to the contrary, that last post wasn't meant to be about sex, but it seems to have ended up that way.

I wasn't even trying this time, sheesh.

Everything is, or can be, about sex.

Story:
So, when I was in High School, the syllabus in English required that we read some forgettable book from a Freudian Analysis perspective. You can imagine what fun that must have been for the teacher in a mixed-gender High School. Plus, of course, he was no Freudian. But he did as he was told.

As we finished the material, he closed the book, leaned on his lectern, and said:

"And now, a short and personal observation. Most everything is longer than it is wide. The rest are usually hollow."

Not quite on topic, but close. :-)

My senior-year English teacher in high school managed to prove to us that all of literature was about two things, sex and/or death. After graduating from high school I went to study in Israel, and was greeted with a suicide bombing happening not ten minutes away from my dormitory. Later that evening, I wrote her an e-mail.

"Dear Ms. P.

I've been in Israel for just over a day now. Too much death, not enough sex.

-Ari"

last summer I bumped into her on the street, she remembered the e-mail. :-)

Truly, doesn't "too much death, not enough sex" describe everyone's life? :-)

(Very cool story, good for a mournful chuckle.)

Some friends and I summed up the English curriculum in my high school as follows:
9th grade: death and destruction
10th grade: death and sex
11th grade: death and philosophy
12th grade: death, sex and repression
