Useful new term: Triangulation of desire

From the list of kinks linked to from the kink meme:

Triangulation of desire (two men express their desire for each other through a female intermediary; sexual rivalry for a woman is actually homoerotic interest)

Interesting... I never knew there was a term for that. Just sayin'.

Making math sound sexy.

Or is that making sex sound mathy?

This *instantly* made me think of House, Wilson, and Cuddy from House.

Hehe, I bet. I've looked through the list of kinks like twelve times and each time I can only focus in the fresh/gross ones and close the window. xD

There's a term for everything.

The more you know!

For any Quentin Tarantino fans, the whole Charlie/Maverick/Iceman thing in Top Gun was TOTALLY a triangulation of desire.
