Good analogy, actually. Sex is great, but should never be forced
on you.

BTW, people here seem to have adopted the idea that if you don't like
a particular feature of a language, you should abandon it (e.g., "You 
don't like indentation? Use Perl!"). But many languages have evolved 
exactly this way: users criticize, complain, praize and whine, thereby
influencing the shape of the languge in question. You can find a very 
nice description of this process with respect to C++ in "The Evolution 
of C++ : Language Design in the Marketplace of Ideas", by Jim Waldo 
(Editor), James Waldo (Editor).
