Sträuben scheint verdächtig, jede Art Blockade

Dear John,
I am not certain, but I think there is a difference how heterosexual men think about homosexual men and how heterosexual women think about homosexual women. I conjecture it has something to do with the imagination of the possibility of being raped. As I remember right, you once said something like: of course, everybody is not strictly straight or gay, but something in between, but it is very hard to admit that, since I have the fear that if I should admit to have any homosexual potential, than thirteen sailors would come in through the door and start raping me. Well, I once knew a lesbian woman, and she turned out in a certain way to be a real pest, since she fell in love with a friend of mine and was very jaleous about our (nonsexual) friendship; I think she never understood that this friendship didn't started instantly, but evolved gradually, and she always seemed to ask: why is she your friend, and not mine. She was, in a certain way, a real pest, but not more than men falling in love can be (I think a man loving me without me loving him is more ennoying than a man I love who is not loving me). And I never thought she could fall upon me or rape me, that thought would have appeared to me as rather absurd. What do you think about it?

Yours,
Sofia
