   Okay.  Weigh out an ounce of love, and I'll believe you.

   I'm not denying it's possible to screw people indiscriminantly --
without really caring for the person.  "Push-ups with a friend" as the
phrase goes.  That's not what I'm talking about.
     
   I have close friends, both sexes, who I love.  That has nothing to do
with intercourse... I simply feel I can share anything with them. (I
wouldn't consider having sex with most of them... that's not the way our
relationships are.)  My relationship with Jenn did not subtract from my
love for them, though it might have taken time away from seeing them.
