Regarding your choice of pairing (i.e. Usagi/Rei), it seems a little 
weird. Usagi gets along the LEAST with Rei, and isn't Rei not supposed to 
have sex until she's married, being a shrine maiden and all? Minako and 
Usagi seem to be a better pairing, IMHO.

	I beg to differ here, Nobody. You may not be aware of the fact
that a LOT of religions consider lesbian sex to be .. well ..
non-deflowering, to fumble for the right word. In many religions, a temple
or shrine maiden has to be and remain a maiden, that is, a virgin. Yes.

	BUT! Many _also_ measure virginity by an intact hymen or
maidenhead. So a small loophole (no pun intended) existed wherein women
could pleasure themselves or each other, yet remain _officially_ virgin,
so long as that hymen remained intact.

	In short, two women could go at it hot and heavy, and still be
virgins in the eyes of their religion.

	Not fair, cry the men, but hey, that's life. *grin*
