Sex And Love

You have been on a few dates, and the two of you seem to "click." But now comes the tricky part -- sex. No doubt about it, sex is complicated. For some people, sex is purely a physical act, sought for the purpose of arousal, release, and pleasure. But for many others, especially women and an increasing number of men in this new millennium, sex means truly making love; they want an emotional connection, an act of giving and receiving affection and sharing feelings.

Whether you are 15 or 50, sex without love poses problems. Before you take your relationship to the next step, think carefully about your own, and your partner's, feelings. While it is tempting to act in the moment of passion, remember that sex changes a relationship for good -- often for the better, but not always.
