Y The Last Man, as the title says, featured a single male in the entire planet and lots of females, so they have no many options to have sex beyond that.The last thing you read which featured a sexual encounter between two people of the same sex.

That sounds like the opposite of "you're grounded" to me. I don't think English has a term for that.

Naava wrote:I got the results now: grade 5 on a scale of 1 to 5, where 5 is best. I honestly did not expect this! Even though my friend did tell me that they seemed to be very gracious with their grading, maybe because this course was aimed at first year literature majors.

So now what's next?
