    Why does everyone pretend that sex is so simple and natural and fantastic?
It’s exactly the other way round. The moment you start a sex life, a whole new world of problems opens. Hair or no hair? If hair, how much, how little, where? Am I supposed to move about? A lot? Or a little? How do I look when I do whatever it is? Is it normal that he tries whatever it is? Is it normal to feel like this? Do we have it too often, or not often enough? Can his parents hear us?
