We have natural desires to have sex and natural desires to learn about sex.
Sex is good.
Friedman began his talk by discussing both humorous and sobering personal experiences from his youth - from his exploration of the human body via the pages of National Geographic magazine and Sears catalogues to the time he accidentally impregnated his girlfriend. This accident, he said, was what awakened him to problems with society's perspective on sex and sexuality. One of the main ideas in Friedman's talk was that the issues and problems of sex and sexism are intertwined. Love Potions Friedman pointed out connections between sex and alcohol as one source of sexual problems in society. Alcohol is an excuse to overcome social inhibitions.
