DEAR ABBY: This letter is in response to "Needing More in Minneapolis," who wrote concerning a new man in her life who apparently has all the qualities she desires except that he is a "lousy lover."
I would like to know the definition of a lousy lover. Does it involve physical attributes, technique, holding and caressing, or other things perhaps better left unmentioned in polite circles? I realize that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, but does the definition of a lousy lover lie in the mind of the recipient? Most women I ask about this subject politely avoid answering the question, but I'm sure it is a frequent topic of conversation during "girl talk."
Abby, please ask your female readers to respond to this subject. Perhaps their responses can be reduced to a definition of what a lousy (or great) lover really is. I'm sure that many men who read your column will benefit from their responses. -- EDWARD G. GRIER JR., SAN DIEGO
DEAR MR. GRIER: I can't speak for my female readers, but my definition of a lousy lover (male or female) would be one who is hurried, selfish and inconsiderate. Readers?
