> It's interesting this object thing. Sometimes, perhaps not often, people (me) like to be objectified. I'm not really sure what is meant by 'objectified', but if it means treated as an object might be treated (owned, possessed, and whatever else) then it's in the spectrum of human sexuality. Don't suppose that says much though, anything is in the spectrum of human sexuality. Nothing to do with porn though, one way or the other.

Declan, it IS interesting... I am a mildly jealous type. I don't make accusations or follow him around, I'm just aware that good men are hard to find, and that someone else may notice my good man and not care that he is married. My husband, on the other hand, claims NOT to be. I have never seen the first hint of jealousy, but I haven't given him any reasons to be jealous, either.I guess this would fall under the heading of being objectified, but I wish he was a LITTLE jealous- you know, to make me feel like he doesn't want to lose me, or that I am the only woman he would even THINK of being with... But I don't get that kind of ego stroke from him. I don't know whether his non-jealous attitude should be taken as a compliment or insult!
