Love, Sex, and other Inequalities

Katrina Fernandez, aka The Crescat, has knocked it out of the park with a post on love, sex, and the difference between them. According to her, a lot of the people she runs into assume that if you’re not having sex with them you don’t love them; and if you’re having sex with them, you love them, and they love you. This strikes me as bizarre, but then, it strikes Katrina as bizarre, too:

The implication here is that single people practicing chastity are not experiencing love. Also, it implies the only way two people can express love for each other is through sex. I would ask them, in turn, how they think married people show their spouses love outside the bedroom.

There’s a lot more where that came from; you need to go look.
