Nonsense. Nobody dies from lack of love either.

It is undeniable that love is most trammelling, imposes all sorts of obligations, and its ending can be most traumatic. If it is to be meaningful it is not to be lightly given. Insistence on it as a gateway to sex leads to the sad sad lifetime of celibacy - and has an equally poor tendency not only for the person choosing to buy into that myth but for others who would otherwise be contiguous.

No-one is arguing for obligatory sex, but those who deny sex its own validity are denying themselves much, because of an outmoded construct largely created by patriarchal societies in which women were owned, developed by religions who used oppressive contexts to collect monetary repentance and increase their controls, and furthered by the Victorian virginity fetish that we now rightly see as a manifestation of paedophilia.

Worse, they tend to want to cause others to be denied, showing the judgmental and oppressive attitudes sprayed around here. Women should have the right and freedom to choose without brainwashing.
