so...what are we gonna do now?

Following my post on orgasms, I've decided to continue this discussion further. But this time, I want to look at the complexity of sex and love. If there is an epic story of good and evil; love and sex would be cast for the leading roles in the motion picture. Their performance would be exemplary that they would be nominated for the accolade in the Oscars. Thinking of which, isn't the 82nd Annual Academy Awards 2010 this weekend? Better get my Sky+ box to record the programme.

Love has always been the Good Samaritan all along because it's pure, holy and selfless. For millennia, humanity has been ungracious toward its rather wayward sibling, sex. Sexual desires have always been considered bad because it is animalistic, sinful and selfish but to call it unholy, I find it rather unfair. Isn't love and sex closely related to hormones? Oxytocin and adrenaline contributes to both, whether you have butterflies in your stomach with love or it is pouring out from your glands from orgasm, it is strictly chemical. So why the double-standard? Isn't it intricately linked? We are all bloody hypocrites I tell you, hypocrites!!

Juliet Richters, a sexologist conducted a study in Australia between 20,000 men and women to determine the relationship between sex and love. What she found out was that, 95% of men and 69% of women had orgasm. However (this is where it gets interesting), when it comes to casual sex, the proportion of women having orgasm drops to 50% but increases to 80% if she was in a relationship. Familiarity, confidence and perhaps sobriety might play a role but I am certain that love has a helping hand. Following this notion, if love makes good sex, can it also be true that sex makes good love? Hmmm...

Personally, love and sex are the same. You can't have one without the other, there consists a balance. Biologists and scientists are still perplexed as to why women have orgasm, some believe that it exist to prompt women to seek multiple partners, while others believe that evolution help make it happen. Either way, I am sure a detailed knowledge of her body will persuade her to reach her tipping point. Saying that, a bit of love will not go amiss.

Usually, people who get together will end up staying together therefore you should be more careful with whom you have sex with - You might just end up falling in love!!
