I am, I must confess, suspicious of those who denounce others for having "too much" sex. At what point does a "healthy" amount become "too much"? There are, of course, those who suffer because their desire for sex has become compulsive; in their case the drive (loneliness, guilt) is at fault, not the activity as such.

Are you still capable of it?" to which he replied, "Hush! if you please: to my great delight I have escaped from it, and feel as if I had escaped from a frantic and savage master." I thought then, as I do now, that he spoke wisely. For unquestionably old age brings us profound repose and freedom from this and other passions.

I feel all these jitters when I wake up in the morning, just energy jitters. When I'm having sex, I don't have that.

Sexual intercourse began in (which was rather late for me) -- Between the end of the Chatterley ban and the Beatles first LP.
