The law of God, as quite plainly expressed in man's construction is this: During your entire life you shall be under inflexible limits and restrictions, sexually. During twenty-three days in every month (in absence of pregnancy) from the time a woman is seven years old till she dies of old age, she is ready for action, and competent.

Also she wants that candle - yearns for it, longs for it, hankers after it, as commanded by the law of God in her heart.

We each deserve this and we all can extend it to others.
Mark Twain
