......Students were instructed to “choose 3 items [romantic music, candles, massage oil, feather boa, flavored syrup,] to use in your story.....
Many of us can experience love without ANY of those items!
But this bogus assignment was not really about love anyway!!!!
So if you love a friend that can only mean you want to have sex with him or her. So you must be gay or bi-sexual or something because any type of love besides eros is verboten.
