Actually, I'm quite good in bed, but find it to be an overrated activity. To paraphrase Seneca, it is simply the friction of two members followed by an ejaculation.
Yes, I'm just throwing in the book references...how dare I appear to be well-read. Such a travesty. What will the Morlock's think?
I keep reminding myself: appear to be an ignorant oaf so you fit in with the Others.
Thanks for your efforts to tutor me. I'm guessing: second year graduate student in sociology, right? You know it all but you haven't passed your comps yet.
No, sex is used to promote consumerism. Not to promote sex itself.
Actually I'm not a graduate student at all. I've just read a lot of books, lots and lots of books. Books on emotional development, early childhood education, sex, deviant sex, sexuality, depression, marriage, wizards and shit, old-ass french poetry, books that paint bleak pictures of dystopian societies. While I can appreciate books dealing with the devolution of society, and even time travel, stop referencing authors in attempts to sound learned. Oh and let me know when you get to Brave New World for references ok?
Sex is an act during which your body attempts to create pair bonding. Especially in relationships. And pair bonding is important to the longevity of love in a relationship.
