Sex, it is supposed, is an uncontrollable drive that if unsatisfied results in misery and dissatisfaction in life as well as in a warped personality. Parents,
The downfall to this is that, as human beings, we tend to generalize our own thoughts and feelings onto those around us.

Therefore, it is necessary that individuals in a relationship be shown that there are other
