- 1. I only need 100 words minimum response for the following several paragraphs "If I had to explain what sex, love, and romance is to someone from another world, well...I suppose I would explain sex first. I was raised with both incredibly religious and sensual views about sex, as well with very liberated and casual views about it. Sex, in essence, is just an act done between two or more consenting adults, done with the intent of experiencing pleasure, and is not dependent on whether or not orgasm was achieved. Sex can be something very intimate and emotionally profound, done monogamously between only two people after marriage, it can be something completely casual, sort of like just a simple release of tension between two strangers who don’t have any emotional connection or tether to each other, and sex can also be anything else amongst the spectrum between those two extremes. Sex can mean absolutely nothing or absolutely everything, it’s up to those involved to decide. Additionally, sex is defined differently for every person.

This doesn’t always translate into something positive for those involved. There’s a thing such as tough love, and there’s countless people out there who are in love, don’t know how to handle their feelings, and hurt the ones they love. There is also a concept of self-love, which is the radical acceptance of oneself, flaws and all. Love is strange, as the song goes. If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, perhaps the road to love is as well. After all, experiencing love can feel like heaven and hell at times. Love is universal, and I believe, something we can’t live without. We all have to love something, if not someone."
