Actually, no. But I would probably date a guy who hated lawyers.

Nice attempt at a cover, cat-hater. And I think your admissions about replying vs. editing pale in comparison to your declaration that you would date a guy who hated you.

Remember though some people are bisexual, and you can have a woman who is heterosexual and comfortable in her birth sex marry a man who is heterosexual and was born the wrong sex who choose to stay together after the surgery. I don't know you would call that heterosexual woman homosexual now, she's probably bisexual, or even simply loved her husband, now wife so much that she decided what sex the person was didn't matter. I don't know how often this happens, but I know it does happen.

The sex of your spouse might matter less because sex reassignment pretty much condemns you to a high risk of lost sexual function, to say the least. The studies are mixed, but a long-term failure rate of 50 percent has been reported for MTF transsexual surgery, failure being defined as a blocked or otherwise non-functional vagina. Many self-identified transgendered people don't go on the chopping block for this reason. And FTM surgery is much rarer and less successful, as you need a prosthesis to perform intercourse. Click here for the Dope.* The marriage probably often becomes all about the cuddling.

What's interesting is the dispute over whether people seeking reassignment might be already suffering from low sex drive, which may contribute to dissatisfaction about sexual identity.

*My knowledge and interest in this topic is limited to what I read on this website and the Straight Dope, but continuing this conversation is more FB-appropriate than the alternative, which appears to be talking about speed traps.

I guess my image was always of the guy getting the hard-on right after he got strapped into the chair, not after he gets fried. Right at the point that he should be scared out of his mind, he gets aroused...and he can't do anything to relieve himself.

Poignantly contrary to what was expected.

Ironic.

Ever heard or rigor mortis? I heard somewhere (please don't ask me where) that this is not uncommon.

Not ironic however unless you (a) were about to get laid for the first time ever as your dying wish and (b) had performance anxiety right before being put to death. Doh!

Except for the boys who would tease the girls with more than two cats. Those boys really were just teasing.

So, ever evaded the cops?

Yes. I have given a false name and claimed to not have any identification on me. I have out run them (both on foot and in a car). I have smiled prettily and talked them out of several speeding tickets (once by bursting into tears, once by explaining that I had an important occasion to get to, and once by explaining that I was lost and did not see any posted speed limit). I have persuaded a tiny foreign officer who pulled me over for going 53 (or something like that) in a 35 mph zonegave me a breathalyzer and told me I "failed all the [sobriety] tests" that the only reason I failed is that I was wearing four inch heels and that he was welcome to attempt to pass himself if he wanted to try them on. After much discussion, he agreed to let me park my car and call a cab to get home. Which I did. No ticket.

I read somewhere that self-loathing is the new self-esteem.

It's not rigor mortis, but it's autorerotic asphyxiation taken a bit too far.

If pressed, I read about it in Billy Budd

I believe that when you are hanged, it causes an erection and orgasm. I canot say with certainty whether this is true, but I believe this is why there are occasional deaths from people who are attempting to get off through auto-asphyxsiation. I believe there was a line in Waiting For Godot about this - something about flowers growing where the hanged man's seed spills. I'll see what the internet has to say about all this.

There is also Priaprism which is a medical term for a persistent erection (> 4hours). They were mentioned in my EMT class years ago as being a sign of spinal cord injury. A google search turned up references to several causes including to sickle cell anemia, or other blood disorder, and a side-efect of Viagra.

From www.fridae.com:
Persistent erections can be painful and interfere with normal activities. The danger is if let for too long it may cause problems with fibrosis or gangrene of the head of the penis.

FYI - the first couple of pages of Google results relate to a SF softball team. Hmmmm, soft - ball.

What the hell do you think "rain on your wedding day" means? There is much to this song, once you get Gigli with it.
