ABSTRACT
What I have done in the present instance is merely to have started thinking about the meanings of sexuality as I tried to understand it; they tended to derive as “side-bar” elaborations that occurred while what has gone before was initially being composed. Lines of thought were allowed to develop without a selfconscious awareness of what would be included, excluded, or what it would look like when finished. I started writing, allowing what had come before to move me forward in a journey combining discovery with invention. If by the end of this journey I have not fully contradicted myself more than once, I shall have failed.
