Well I give you a male's point of view. My wife met and I have been together since high school freshman. We are away celebrating our 50th anniversary. It has saddened me to see the emphasis and mis-interpetation younger generations have concerning love vis a vis sex. Look at the so called love stories or romantic comedies coming out of Hollywood today. they are vulgar demeaning and can only result in unhappiness....but sex sells

Like many of our generation my wife and I remained celibate until our honeymoon. It has paid off in dividends because in those five years before we married we built a sound relationship that has carried us through the ups and downs of marriage.

It also is sad to see all the emphasis on sex for seniors the viagra commericals, the sex specilaists, etc. Sex is nice but it is only one aspect of a relationship and not as important as championship, friendship and respect for one another

Any creature can have multiple sex partners and/ or encounters but a true great lover is one who can meet the many needs of his/her spouse their entire lives.
