At this point, I'm not sure if it's a good knock or a bad knock, but it's definitely sideways and upside down. My brain is still "Huh?"-ing, but a few conscious thoughts are filtering through.

Okay, discussing my Magic=Sex comment: Even Joss has been quoted as saying the spell performed between Willow and Tara in "Who Are You?" was a metaphor for a sexual relationship between the two of them. And later, in S6, Willow magically "rapes" Tara by performing spells to keep her docile. In S3, Xander uses magic to try to win Cordy back, which could, when squinted at, be seen as sexual magic because he was trying to take what he wanted without her consent. I don't think that ALL magic in the show is sexual in nature, but I think some of it is.

Okay, brain is returning to dazed and confused, so that's all I have for now.

Unfortunately, I've had a rough week and can relate all too well; hence the delay in responding.

Absolutely, I totally agree. The Jossverse is so complex, that magic is used as a metaphor for many different things, including sex, but I feel it was most used to represent the misuse of power.
