This was the basis for my ideas. I just removed
sexuality from the equation and made it a secondary
issue. With that it opened the fields of love to even
inanimate objects.

I think this is the right move, sexuality and sex, as
an event unto itself and the domain of the Naked
Goddess (sex is purely for pleasure not propigation),
and The True Lover, the ensuring of the right
cross-fertilisation of pairs.

Yes, but includes conceptual, ideological,
genetic/zygote-gamete pairings - two halves making a
whole.

I'd make Mystic Hermaphrodite an option for the True
Lover, not a version.

loved... heh heh heh.

Good luck.

Cheers,

Chris.
