The Ladder Theory
« on: November 02, 2006, 11:28:28 am »
It is a pop psychologic explanation of how men and women "rate" themselves sexually on this ladder  upon first impressions. The term itself is originally derived from Woody Allen's book Getting Even, where we find a short-story titled "The Whore of the Mensa.
The main reason I am posting this subject here, though, is that I am rather curious about the existence of Intellectual Whores i.e. the nice guys, in the Hiv+ World as well! Moreover, it is my understanding that sex, for most of us, has become something to a certain extent even painful to deal with after the diagnosis.
In addition, I was questioning myself about the existence of a Gay Ladder Theory...! ::) Oh boy, that would be something somewhat knotty and hard to understand!

The word comes from the Greek words φως phos ("light"), and γραφίς graphis ("stylus", "paintbrush") or γραφή graphê, together meaning "drawing with light" or "representation by means of lines".

OK -- that was HYSTERICAL!!!  Excuse me while I go off to do some ladder re-organization.  After having had the bad boy, I think he might fall into the abyss...unless I'm really, really drunk.... LOLOL
