No to both. But that's not the problem. The problem is that 1) the
off-orientation relation****p is clearly possible and 2) there is no reason
to presume the relation****p will be brief.

We are all drawn to people (of either ***) who make us feel good about
ourselves. This is an emotional sup****t that we all seek. When we find it,
there is a "halo" effect that makes us "idolize", in small ways, that
other
person. And if that person is the chief source of our good feelings about
ourselves, then we are likely to become dependent upon them, emotionally.

The other half of the equation is ***ual pleasure. Because it is possible
to
experience ***ual pleasure regardless of the *** of the partner, the same
person who provides emotional sup****t may also supply ***ual pleasure.

Now, given that we have someone who is able to give us emotional sup****t
and
***ual pleasure, what prevents us from becoming attached to them if they
wish to become attached to us?
