QUOTE : I mean, why did sex have to be so important? Why couldn't people live together, spend their lives together, just because they liked each other's company? Just because they liked each other more than they liked anyone else in the whole world? <br />If you found a person like that you wouldn't have to have sex. You could just hold them, couldn't you? You could sit close to them, nestle into them so you could hear the machine of them churning away. You could press your ear against the person's back, listening to the rhythm of them, knowing that you were both make of the same exact stuff. You could do things like that.
