Frederica Matthews-Green is one of my favorite writers. In a recent (lengthy) article she discusses the real meaning of sex.
Taking hints from how our bodies have been formed, Matthews-Green discusses how for the human being, the sexual act has deeper implications for us than for any other creature.
Here are a couple of quotes:
"Looking at faces meets a very deep human hunger. I think it’s significant that humans are one of the few animals capable of looking into each other’s faces during sex."
"Everything you hear in ads and entertainment is telling you that your goal is to wake up next to someone gorgeous tomorrow morning. That’s the rationale of consumer sex. But I think what humans really want is to wake up next to someone kind, fifty years from tomorrow morning."
