Personal Questions

[Alex]

Generally 4 hours and night and ditto on the shortened lifespan as a result.

[Rev. Powell]

I shoot for (and average) 8 hours a night, prefer 9 if I can get it. If I have less than 7 hours I drag noticeably the next day.

[Trevor]

Because of issues I have with anxiety and depression, I'm happy if I can get five hours of sleep per night.

[indianasmith]

I get about 5 - 6 hours' sleep nightly when I'm working, rarely more.  In the summers, when I'm off, I generally sleep till I wake up - which is usually after about 7 hours.

This is a disturbing question, or at least I find the subject disturbing, and I lived contentedly a long time* before I was even aware of the stereotype/accusation, but do you think it's true that funeral directors and morticians are often sexually attracted to dead people?

(*I found out when the necrophile House Hlaalu dark elf in Oblivion joked about the fine in Cyrodiil, and someone brought that subject this up, so like 2007-ish.)

Uhm. I'll PM you a story (not involving me directly, but it is pretty damn dark).

I don't think it's OFTEN, but it does happen.

^ Hey, look at that, indy's got 2,500 karma!

Ugh.  I hope not.  I'd put mortician in the realm of proctologist; money must be the motivation.  And somebody has to do it.

Did you ever hear that in France under Napoleon III the government paid doctors a modest sum to conduct medical exams on sex workers in brothels in order to try to curb the spread of diseases, but so many doctors applied for these relatively low-paying jobs that someone got the idea of charging doctors for the license to perform this formerly salaried task, and the government actually found it a lucrative source of revenue? I've often thought about that when people have suggested phsicians become asexual when examining patients. (Maybe some do but apparently some at least find other motivations beyond the application of their medical training.)

[ER]

Ever experienced a sexual attraction that ran contrary to what you thought of as your sexual identity?

I truly don't think I have.

I have been kissed by at least two women that I can think of off the top of my head, both of them did it abruptly, and I had a friend get very odd and physical with me once, though I don't think that was sexual as much as her seeking some form of comfort considering the state she was in, and I also had a waxer one time leave me wondering, um, are you sure you need to be doing that?

But that was all them to me, not me to them. (Though I did hold my friend tightly that night when she was being like she was.)

[RCMerchant]

No.

[Trevor]

Yes, quite a few times.

[Rev. Powell]

Nope. But, when I was 18, there was a brief period when I did go to a lot of gay bars, because they would let us in and sell us beer without checking I.D. Stopped because as a straight guy, getting hit on by gay guys is annoying. (I sympathize with women in bars.)

[Alex]

No. I've had a couple of gay guys come on to me, but I've just had no interest. One gay guy did once tell me that I was the least gay man on the planet.
