Dr. Clark:
I think females do have a tendency to fall in love and have an emotional response to things and that’s perfectly fine. That’s how we, we need our emotions in dealing with young children and the female throughout history, you know, we bare and raise children. So, we need that, the emotions to deal with children who are not reasoning until they are 6 or 7.
So, that’s a quality, a very positive aspect that we have. But I think it’s a disservice to not teach the female the reality that sex is a physical experience, and to, so that she can learn about that and/or somebody else is going to teach her about it. She can learn about it for herself and explore it and make choices that she is responsible for those choices.
