    They're inserted (use something for lubrication) into the anus and then often pulled out (they're strung together) to stimulate the sensitive region outside the anus. Often this is done when the person who has the beads in them is nearing or at orgasm. The anal opening is a very sensitive and is erogenous to many people, if they can get past the 'yuck factor.'

    I don't have a problem with it, and I expect that most of my (largely bisexual) friends feel the same way. The show, IMHO, has a warmth, and it's funny. *shrug* I can get upset about a lot of things (getting beaten up for my orientation, being told I don't deserve equal rights), but somehow Will and Grace just doesn't make the list, y'now?

    Like many things, it's not simple. First, science does seem to show some real signs that sexual orientation is at least, in part, built-in, and not a simple choice. For example, the structure of the brains of gay men has been shown to be, on average, different. There are other studies that confirm this by different means. The idea that homosexuality could be in part genetic seems hard to believe at first from an evolution point of view (they wouldn't reproduce!) But it's quite possible (there's an analogy with sickle-cell anemia, but I'm not allowed a long enough response to talk about it.) There's a 3rd option besdies 'genetic' and 'choice', too. It's possible that environment in some unspecified way causes a person to tend towards homosexuality, without there being a direct genetic component, and with no conscious choice on the persons part. Choice becomes more complex when you talk to bisexuals like myself. I certainly did not make a 'choice' to become bisexual (a 'choice of orienatation'), but the fact that I've had boyfriends and girlfriends instead of just girlfriends is a choice (a 'choice of action'). Most gay folk I know don't report having this flexibility in orientation, and, barring having no relationship whatsoever, therefore have no choice of action. Finally, while most gay and bi folks I know report that they never 'chose' to be anything, there are a small number of folks who report that they felt they actually 'choose'.
