Does that mean there have to be whips, chains, and hot candle wax?

From a professional newsletter I received today:

Can a social worker date a relative of one of her clients?

Perhaps. Will the "dating" be plutonic with no sexual contact?

Plutonic or Platonic? Actually, classics scholars are fond of pointing out that "Platonic" love doesn't exclude sexual activity, as most assume -- something about the classical Greek language often conflating "agape" with "eros." Apparently, our chastened Puritanical ways of knowing in the 18th and 19th centuries warped the idea, "purifying it," as per the usual, so that its definitive meaning conveys platonic love as nonsexual love. It's funny that the French don't typically lop sex from the platonic...isn't it? That figures.

...Or did you mean plutonic, like, as in, very far out of this world....beyond the stellar, the stella (stars)...constellatory-like....

No, I meant relating to Pluto, in the underworld.

I thought it meant "relating to Plutarch", as in, "Joe, you're history!"
