And I think I'm correct in saying that what gets most of us
around the bases isn't mere attraction or sexual urge. It's the
talk that makes a path, the feeble jokes, the better one; all
couples need to learn humor. [...] I don't guarantee it, but the
thing most people are most denied in life is not actually sex or
orgasm -- we help ourselves. It's being well talked to, in a way
that persuades you the other person wants to know you. Never
forget the second word in"carnal knowledge."
