Love is...

Sure, it's an embedded youtube video. But it's so much more than that. It's about love, honor, commitment, and anal sex.

After all, love is all about experiencing and understanding all that you can about your partner. What could be more natural than knowing him or her physically? The physical is deeply tied to the spiritual. The physical act is consecrated by the deeper undercurrents of trust and responsibility. And the spiritual act is enhanced by the physiological response, the interplay of animal emotion and stone-cold Rousseau reason.



True love is all about tempering passion with reason. Why not experience both at once? Live in the ever-collapsing space between the two extremes. That is where love lives. Love is neither cold nor mechanistic. Nor is it mere desire and lust.



Love is the bit between your naughty bits and your brain. Kind of like a sandwich. It's the meat between eros and thanatos, physical and spiritual, you and your partner.

(Just because this sounds like a monologue to convince your homecoming date to take her top off and/or make out in the backseat of your '92 Protege does not make it invalid. It just cheapens it a little.)†
