Feminine Side ?

Though Wilde's sexual orientation has variously been considered bisexual, homosexual, and paederastic, Wilde himself felt he belonged to a culture of male love inspired by the Greek paederastic tradition.[2] In describing his own sexual identity, Wilde used the term Socratic.[3] He may have had significant sexual relationships with (in chronological order) Frank Miles, Constance Lloyd (Wilde's wife), Robert Baldwin Ross, and Lord Alfred Douglas ("Bosie"). Wilde also had numerous sexual encounters with working-class male youths, who were often rent boys.

Robert

Ewwww ... why do we want to know that Bob????? ***vomit***

Bob you should quote your sources..

Hey I just typed in was Oscar Wilde gay ???

This was only one of the hits ???

Apparently he was WILD ???


Bob

He was much more than gay Bob. He was intelligent, witty, a brilliant playwright and a poet. Have you ever read or seen The Importance of Being Ernest? I read it at primary school level and loved it then. A much misunderstood man, very ahead of his times.

Hey Bob ya won't get an Oscar for that post. Yuk Yuk enough to turn a man off his tucker.

This is interesting I posted a reply, nothing bad, but it's no here, very strange indeed.

Bob

G'day Terry,

I have posted several things in the past week that have said that they were successfuly posted but when I looked a few hours later were gone. I also have problems with this Mac super mouse.. it eats entries before I can even post them. No wonder my posting has more than halved in the past few months.
