Yep. I'll try almost anything once, and more than that, if I like it!


Key word there being "almost". I'm sure I can name quite a few things that,
in spite of being popular with some people, you would refuse to try even
once.

Everyone has activities that are simply out of bounds for their preferences.
It's unreasonable to expect every person to be willing to try every possible
activity that is offered to them. For some, handling the controls of an
airplane is "out of bounds". This should be neither disappointing, nor
surprising. It's just how things are.

I really do mean almost. I threw that in there to avoid, say, sex with anther
guy.

Darn few.

But that isn't really important to the discussion.

Sure it is. The fact is, just as having sex with another man may be
abhorrent to you, taking the controls of (or even riding as a passenger in)
an airplane may be abhorrent to someone else.

The concept is *extremely* important to the discussion. It is the *core* of
the discussion.
