Totally agree Little Hawk

Sex is a very easy commodity

Kisses and cuddles, coupled with the love that they engender or vice versa, are rarer and far more valuable

Not a hard and fast rule, definitely, but as people get older the sexual side fades and, if they are lucky, the true love begins. Love without lust or ambition. True romance in many ways. But I am not saying this does not and cannot happen when much younger and I beileve many teenagers really do believe they love the person they are 'sleeping' with. Young men use the love angle a great deal to obtain sex while the teenage girl believes him. In latter years the worm has turned and young women work it on oung men. Chemical love is a powerful cocktail evolutionarily designed to make people bond and have sex. I do not believe that is the only kind of love for Homo sapiens and I do think love evolves in longer relationships

Too romatic a notion?
