Also, I don't know what others think, but I'm having issues with referring to women as "cold fish," especially in reference to "sexually non-responsive." This brings up images of fish as an analogy for women's genitals (actually a derogatory term for a woman in some cultures), as well as "frigid" for not being interested in sex (with all those negative connotations). Also women are not food.

I'm torn between "yeah actually that's not a way I like being described" and "that's a really useful bit of cultural shorthand for a certain set of behaviors that made me instantly know what cshiley was talking about."
