The real test of love is when a person—including you—can know your weaknesses, your stupidities and your smallnesses, and still love you.

We believe that every relationship is unique unto itself, and thus even an attempt to think in types and forms is not going to express the essential truths of what happens when we love people.

The cultural ban on having sex with your friends is an inevitable offshoot of a societal belief that the only acceptable reason to have sex is to lead to a monogamous marriagelike relationship.

Do remember: your sexiness is about how you feel, not how you look.

Sex is nice and pleasure is good for you.

Intimacy is based on shared vulnerability Nothing deepens intimacy like the experiences that we share when we feel flayed, with our skins off, scared and vulnerable, and our partner is there with us, willing to share in the scary stuff.

The real test of love is when a person—including you—can know your weaknesses, your stupidities and your smallnesses, and still love you.
