Quote: If someone is there to make love to you, with you, and they are there because they love you, they're there even if the sexual expression is coming from the heart/head rather than their hormones - why is that viewed as a lesser thing? Why is a conscious choice to make love something lesser than one that is strongly hormonally influenced?
Very well put. Making a conscious choice to make love is something greater than relying on a hormonally driven response.
Beware the notion, however, of classifying the sexual desire of those of us with a relatively high sex drive as being "hormonal". Sometimes we get painted as animals who only want to use our spouses as sex toys. This hurts, because those hormonal pressures usually come all mixed up and confounded with affection, playfulness, need for intimacy and closeness, and, dare I say, love.
Mr. Corri and Nopkins are lucky dudes indeed for having wives who will get on that ladder with them.
