Reminds me of a couple of paragraphs I wrote 8 1/2 years ago:

"I want the intimacy — the connection. 'The purpose of a relationship is not to have another who might complete you; but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.' (From Conversations with God — Book 1). And sharing is primarily how I view sex. As Viktor Frankl writes, in addition to our primal need for sex, 'sex is a mode of expression of love…love is not understood as a mere side-effect of sex; rather, sex is a way of expressing the experience of that ultimate togetherness which is called love.'

Anyone reading this already knows from conversation that casual sex bores me. What I mean is it doesn’t hold my attention for multiple repeat encounters and at this point in my life I don’t now seek it out. Sure, if an opportunity presents itself… Sure it’s physically satisfying — 'Sex without love is a meaningless experience, but as meaningless experiences go, it’s pretty damn good.' (Woody Allen). 'It’s wonderful fun. Why, it’s just about the most fun you can have with your body, if you’re talking of strictly physical experiences alone.' (From Conversations with God — Book 1)."
