Today, the word love is equated with sex.  For most young people, the words to date mean dinner, movie and sex.  For most young American men, if the dinner and movie could be dispensed with, all the better.

 

The damage that this cheapening of sexuality has done is enormous.  Most single men and women are terrified about getting close to anyone.  Most single people are suspicious about anyone who wants to be a true friend.  Most Americans have shut down emotionally and socially.  They have become isolated and incapable of friendship.”
