Sex is perceived as the core of human identity, our definition of who we are; total sexual freedom is seen as fundamental to a healthy mental equilibrium. If we don’t have sex without strings and relationships without rings, we are obviously an unhealthy maelstrom of repressed tensions and phobias.
