Sex is a wonderful pastime that has received a bad rap in today's society, where many things that feel good are considered bad for us. Our physiological makeup has built-in sexual peaks which occur early in the lives of both men and women. I doubt a these biological clocks exist in error. Yet it is during this time that we're encouraged to wait, abstain, and distance ourselves from sex. We are condition from childhood to accept this unfamiliarity with our bodies.
Parents cover themselves when dashing from the bathroom to the bedroom.
When they finally do speak to their children about sex, it's in mainly biological terms, not sensual, emotional, or spiritual. Our lives are driven by energy and passion. Lives are meaningless without passion, be it for work, play, or song and dance. Yet the passion to intimately know each other is restrained, whether by society, religion or other sources. Without other means for releasing this passion, we become bitter and angry.
