AANNNYYYYWWWAAAAYYYYYY.

I have been at university for a long time now and I am finally within sight of the tape. I know this post is not theatre related but you cannot imagine the feeling of being within a month or two of finishing after six years at Murdoch (actually I have a suspicion some of you do know that feeling).

Basiclly I have a question for all of you. The answers will form the basis of an essay on the cultural construction of everyday life.

"What cultural product do you think best represents the day to day sexual relations between men and women?"

(Not tackeling homosexuality at the point).

Answers in an e-mail please. No names required, just age and gender. And perhaps an explantion if you feel so moved.
It can be any cultural product, film, tv. magazine, book, PLAY...

Some suggestion...Sex in the City, Friends, Fatal Attraction, Mills and Boon novels, Love and other Catastrphes, Playboy, the Windsor Smith billborads, you get the idea. Now how you WANT sex to be, not how it should be, HOW IT IS!!

Your time is much appreciated.

LEAH

Hi ya Jason!

I must point out that I am not in fact running a hidden agenda nor engaging in a personal demolition. I don't think I have ever met Leah and certainly have no reason to bear her any grudges.

My sole point was that with the burgeoning of this site it would be a pity to have to wade through piles of junk mail before hitting upon issues relevant to the intensions of the site.

Theatre is a big field and I did not attempt to suggest that some form of 'purity' (your word) be maintained.

My general observation was hardly a 'crucifixion' nor could it in any way be seen as 'personal'.

Apologies if it was taken this way.

Another general non-personal observation: The amount of responses on this non-issue demonstrates my concern.
