That seems simple, but it is actually a great challenge in these complextimes. Too many other layers of meaning have been imposed upon sex.Religions straightjacket it, ascetics deny it, romantics glorify it,intellectuals theorize about it, obsessives pervert it. These actionshave nothing to do with lovemaking. They come from fanaticism andcompulsive behavior. Can we actually master the challenge of havinglovemaking be open and healthy? Sex should not be used as leverage, manipulation, selfness, or abuse. Itshould not be a ground for our personal compulsions and delusions. Sexuality is an honest reflection of our innermost personalities, and weshould ensure that its expression is healthy. Making love is somethingmysterious, sacred, and often the most profound interaction betweenpeople. Whether what is created is a relationship or pregnancy, thelegacy of both partners will be inherent in their creation. What we put into love determines what we get out of it.
