"Well, actually I do believe that almost all American men behave badly in groups. .........it is not normal male conversation in Northern Ireland, where he comes from." You are right Christine, males in Northern Ireland are usually too drunk to speak.

<<Well, actually I do believe that almost all American men behave badly in groups.>> BULLETIN FROM SON NO. 1 (SON NUMBER 2-- THE MUSICIAN -- IS ON TOUR TODAY, AND NOT AVAILABLE FOR CONSULTATION) Sure, guys talk about sex when they get together. Don't women? (Oh, they don't? Hahahahaha..) I'll tell you who gets really graphic, and that's "D." He likes to describe the whole thing, from start to finish, like Henry Miller. He's funny that way. But is he "disrespectful" of the girl? Nah! Does he "speak of her in the ugliest of terms for behavior he would congratulate himself on"? Nah! Who would? Well, probably some old pillar of the church kind of guy, off on a spree, away from The Wife...Someone who classifies all women either as "good women" or as "whores." But I don't hang out with that kind of guy myself. I'll tell you what guys do do when they get together! They complain about their wives -- The Old Ball and Chain routine. All of them, haha. Now that's male bonding! Okay, married women <sigh of relief --I'm a widow>, you now have an even hotter topic to debate! <g>

Oops! Omitted the juiciest part from BULLETIN FROM SON NO. 1. It goes as follows: Guys who describe the women they sleep with in such contemptuous terms may actually have homosexual leanings, which they don't admit to. They sleep with women because a guy is supposed to, because that proves he is "A Man," but basically women disgust them, and sex with them is a "dirty job." So in talking about those women later, they show that disgust.
