Sex or Freedom?

This was to be the topic for a new columnist, who I am still waiting on her submitting her first column.

We had some great fun this past week in the downtown coffee house debating this subject. She, is a mature woman, who decided to say goodbye to the north and make her life now in Costa Rica. Usually, it is men that do this, so I was quite interested to hear a woman's perspective.

Well, as it turned out, I was the one being quizzed and decided to let the people speak out. My new friend took upon herself to ask every man in sight what they thought: what is more important, sex or freedom?

She had my answer, but was not convinced. So the inquisitions began.

I was surprised at first, as most men answered Freedom. This of course, I added, had to be a gentlemanly response. After all it was a woman asking the question and as all men from the north have been conditioned, they made the 'smart' response.

I countered, that if it had been I, a man, asking the question and she, my friend, a woman, were not around, the answer would definitely be different. The truth, of course.

And the questioning continued over several days and with a variety of different men from different backgrounds and locations.
