If you attach emotions to sexual expression then sexual expression would have a lot to do with those other things. In fact it prevents many people from doing all those other things (case in point: Maria Shriver). But you're right in that not everyone associates emotions and sexual monogamy. Not to mention the disease risk. An interesting comparison might be finances. My wife spends money on things I wouldn't and vice-versa. We tolerate this "promiscuous financial expression" because those things make us as individuals happy, but the bulk of our spending is done together for our mutual benefit. We have a $50 rule, but even that would be void if it happened every month. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:338703 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
