I'm bi myself

Sorry, but this question pops immediately to my mind: Did your research have any influence on your sexuality, or did you identify as bisexual before you got in to the topic?

Hi,

Since the linked comment is 6 months old I can't reply with a question to it, but maybe you can answer it for me. From one of his favorite translations:

VI.36:

mentula tam magna est quantus tibi, Papyle, nasus,

ut possis, quotiens arrigis, olfacere.

Papylus, your dick is so big and your nose is so long, that when you get an erection, you can smell it.

Earlier someone talked about Greeks maybe possibly thinking huge penises were not the ideal, but that small ones were. Does the above poem relate to that notion in any way (I realize it was Roman, so I'm pretty much confused why it's a supposed burn...or maybe it's a compliment?)

Very interesting answer, thanks! As a follow-on, do you think that engaging sexuality as an academic study (and all the long-term thinking on the subject that that would entail) has made you more comfortable in talking about your own sexuality? Sexual experience?

It's pretty clear that you are comfortable with talking about sex in general (your pun threads were awesome, by the way) -- have you always been comfortable with the subject (past late puberty, anyway), or is that also a byproduct of your studies?
