Thank you --- may I call you "Hair"?

The zig-zags of my own life have brought me to a rather intense and lasting interest in the spiritual and mind/body connections of sexual intercourse and marriage. Though I tend to be rather muddled myself, I have had the big advantage of having met people who were wise, deep, and sane on the subject, and willing to talk about it.

Fortunately, some of them also write about it. If you want to get into it a little deeper, try Googling "Federica Mathewes-Green" and "J. Budziszewski" and "Sex." Should turn up something worth reading.

There's also an intriguing book that touches on the "language of the body" idea, by Lauren Winner: Real Sex: The Naked Truth Abou Chastity.

This is honest, genuine stuff, and doesn't read like it was written by somebody who starches their underwear.

It's available from Amazon.com for under $12. Just think, for the cost of a meal out, you could have a heapin' helpin' of insight that'll deepen your mind and heart about the man-woman thing. Now I think that's sexy.
