There ARE those of us who use this as a term of flattery. I say that every once in a while, something to that effect, but it's not because I want to identify myself as "not gay". It's as a person who is not normally attracted to men offering up a pretty significant compliment. It's like saying, "I don't usually like blondes- but on you, it's hot!"

I thought about this for a while... and my conclusion was that, in the end, so much of the success of relationships is communication that really it's not a matter of what is between their legs or what they like their partner to have, but who is communicating and who is not.
That being said, I am a man of words- and any attempt to abridge my vocabulary in the way that I describe things would be totally out of place for me. I don't really see a necessity for dropping the terms from use.
