Sex is for more than procreation once or twice in life; sex is also for a lifetime of pleasure. While this is not news to anyone, it is not part of our national conversation.

Now it is time to include sex and sexuality as pleasurable and natural in open frank conversation about the human condition. Knowledge and open discussion are the paths to societal change that lead us away from viewing sexuality primarily in negative terms and towards viewing sexuality as a part of life that is wholesome and pleasurable.
