You sure got that right. The nightmare part about this MTV Spring Break in Hell is there's no love at all. No love anywhere in sight, none none none. Sex without love! like air without oxygen.
Max, I hope with all my heart that each of my children will have an opportunity, sooner or later, to make love.

"...the appearance of sexiness is very important, you know to look sexy, to have the retail experience of sexiness is paramount ...retail titillation is everything, actual sexual experience and erotic authenticity is nowhere to be found. This is what came up with the whole Janet Jackson breast controversy. You know, what did this actually have to do with sexuality? Nothing."
