...aaaaand out of nowhere, here she comes, ta-da-dum, ta-da-dum,
tssssssssssss!

ok. i'm writing a fiction novel about a women with amnesia -
i've done a lot of research in amnesia and memory research, but nothing on
memory and sexuality -

does anyone know of anything that deals with amnesia and sexuality?
(like, can a person forget they are straight or gay or bi-; fall in love
and then years
later, recover past memories and remember a different sexual preferenced
lifestyle?)
i don't know if i'm asking "can it happen" so much as has it been written
about?

any help at all would be great. thanks. i know all we DO here is talk
about sexuality, yawn,
it must be such a BORE to keep harping on sex and gender, ha ha ha ha
ha(she laffed maniacally) but if someone has a suggestion re resources,
i'd be ever-so-obliged.
thanks,
diane
