Does Love make Sex Legal?

Last weekend, I took a trip to one of my friend’s den. The moment I entered into his house, I was shocked by what I saw. The living room is a mess. Wrappers of cigarettes spotting all over the room extended with some beer bottles. Bed has not been made. Shoes and socks are lying randomly. And clothes are in disaster situation. That was what I expected but to my surprise everything out there was well set. I smiled to myself, perhaps I liked the unexpected.

In no time I made myself comfortable. I insisted helping him in kitchen but alas it was a flop show. An onion was enough to wipe my makeup. Yeah here I admit that Kitchen is the zone which freaks me out. Around 4 pm we settled down to have a hot television (TVs Sa Re Ga Ma) lunch.  Though it was pretty late for lunch but I enjoyed our very own home flavor.

Post to our lunch we planned to play a game where each of us got to ask some questions and the other person has to answer being true to one.  I got to deal with these questions; ‘Are you straight?’ ‘Are you Virgin?’ ‘How many guys have you kissed?’ ‘How many guys have you been dating?’Initially I enjoyed the whole concept but soon the thread of discussion led us to discuss the most happening topic, ‘A Man-Woman Thing’ i.e. Sex-Love. That evening I wanted to talk my heart out but I had no idea where to start from. I had to make choice and I decided not to probe this topic. I bid adieu to him with a hearty laugh and a gentle hug.

On my way back to home I kept on thinking about his outlook which said, ‘There is nothing wrong when two consenting adults want to have sex and Love is just a mere explanation to get the Sex legal.’ Does that mean Love never exist? This question had taken over my need for sleep that night.

I don’t contradict with the fact that no other subject holds as much interest as sex and it’s always cleavage that makes a woman desirable. So there is nothing filthy about Sex. Even science says; unlike other animals, human do not have any mating season. So we have all the rights to got to go with our instinct. But that does not give us a liberty to have ‘Kamasutra’ in our curriculum. In the other hand we have Shakespeare in our syllabus to deal with.

It’s obvious for a teenage to experience a hormonal imbalance every time he/she thinks about his/her counterpart. And that particular feeling of attraction is a part of Love, never Sex. I know, for many of you this might have sounded bizarre. As unlike Sex, Love does not ever come with the instruction manual. But trust me this is what we were/are up to.  In life it’s always hard to get a chance to kiss the person who truly sweeps us off our feet than to make out with the one whom we never owe a single feeling of ours. So I do not stand with those who believes, ‘The word Sex is always content with Pleasure where as Love shares it’s endurance with Pain’.

Neither I am here to debate on legal or illegal Sex nor on pre or post marital affair. I believe, it is natural and one should respect his/her urge towards it but without a shade of guilt in his/her mind. Because virginity justifies a person’s sexual status not his/her desires. So respecting all those feelings now let me leave you with this thought; Sex is always an affordable word but never is Love. Let’s admit it.
