When you feel all turned on and steamy, it's not love, it's your sex hormones talking. Nevertheless, when you have a partner, you can use those impulses as a means to strengthen your bond, through gestures of sexual proportions.

To a woman sexual intimacy is more a tool to get mentally close to her partner than merely a means to physical pleasure.

Sex is not just about going in or letting in, it is really about welcoming your dearly beloved into the deepest regions of your psyche which are inaccessible to anybody else.

Sexual intimacy is not the destination, it is the path - the path that leads to mental union.
