    One of us is missing the point.

    jfriesne -

    "Is this sort of of parsing really necessary?

    Everybody has their own reasons for entering into sexual relationships, and their reasons are their business. Is it necessary for us to sit in judgement of other people's private decisions?"

    If Ms. "Beech" wanted her private decisions left private and unjudged, she wouldn't have written about them. She wants a career in broadcast journalism; she knows the power of the news cycle and the associated buzz, and she wanted to grab some of that. Perhaps we shouldn't be helping her, but what can I say? Sex sells.

    One has to wonder about her benefactor's reaction to this essay, though, particularly if someone manages to suss out his identity.
