Whoa, whoa, whoa.

See, that's the judgmental thing I was talking about last night. Sexual preferences are not about morality or political correctness. They just are. Some people are just wired one way or another; this makes the light go on, that does not, it's just a physiological reality.

Roger's comment makes sense to me, though -- if he (the character, not Roger) was thoughtlessly ignoring her stated preferences, then yes, he's a pig. But really, we don't even know that for sure.

When I first read this sonnet, I laughed out loud, and I still think it's very good, it's just that the more I thought about it, the more I had doubts. It could be argued that this sonnet is not meant to be thought about quite so much.
