I asked my bandmate about those big guys with tiny mandolins. I figured he was the authority because he is one, with one. He said it is hand strength. It takes a lot of strength to play a mandolin because it has double strings and you have to press both down evenly and firmly to get the right sound. I stuck out my arm and said - oh yeah. After about a second of squeezing, I was convinced. He could have broken my arm, he was so strong and he claimed to be holding back. About the sex and playing music, there are lots of differences, for one thing sex doesn't last as long, you can't do it with as many people, and you generally don't have an audience. Claire
