About This Quote

The problem is not that women are too much in love with the idea of being treated like a goddess during sex, but that men are not enough in love with being themselves. Sex is one of the few times when people are truly themselves. It is the moment when they can forget about their jobs, their problems, everything that gets them down. When people are having sex, they are not worried about anything else except making sure that they really enjoy themselves.
