Confirmation!


In the approximative Greek font which is all that can I muster so far:  Nikasítiµos oîøe Tiµíona: "Nikasitimos has been (was) fucking Timiona."  [Those are both male names] Graffiti recently discovered by Dr. Andreas Vlachopoulos, at Astypalaia--a remote and rocky peninsula  on the Aegean island of Samos--dating to the fifth or sixth century B.C.  Dr. Vlachopoulos suggests that the "use of the of the past continuous [imperfect?] tense indicates that the two men were in an ongoing relationship."  No--God fucking damn the anachronistic, intrusive and presumptuous knee-jerk heteronormativity of such a suggestion--it does not.  It, rather, merely indicates that the two men had butt-sex on more than one occasion, and it implies that they were happy about it, with no opprobrium attaching either to the bottom (Timiona) or the top (Nikastimos).  Stuff the "relationship" twaddle, ladies.  One of the things that men like--have always liked--about other men is that they can have sex on a fairly regular basis, without it occurring to either of them that they're "in a relationship."

[It doesn't mean, Mesdames, that they don't like one another, or don't respect one another, or that they aren't friends  or social equals.  All it means is that they don't need, or want, society's approval, or yours, for the butt-fucking they enjoy together out on that remote and rocky peninsula--and they don't give a damn whether society, or you, disapprove.]
