Foreword

"Moon," "Spoon," "June," "Falling in love," and "The stars above," have been synonymous with the worldwide romantic view of marriage.

But in fact, psychologists have been seriously examining the possible damage to human relationships that the concept of "romantic love" presents. It is indisputable that good marriages are built on faith, loyalty and trusts. That a deep and abiding love between two people does not necessarily have anything to do with heart-palpitating "romantic" love.

Young girls, in particular, are inundated with the notion that sexual ecstasy and marriage are synonymous. Consequently, many adolescent women hasten to marry their first sexually exciting lover without regard for the fact that "romantic" love invariably lessens with the continued proximity of two partners in a marriage. This disappointment, the realization that their marriage partner no longer "makes their knees tremble" or "sends their heart soaring," is the primary reason for the high divorce rate throughout the world.

It further complicates, the issue that, in the adolescent courting days, boys are primarily physically anxious for sex while girls are emotionally anxious to form a meaningful relationship. Young dating couples are usually, unfortunately, working at cross-purposes.

Should the "romantic" notion of love be lost to adolescent girls and the undeniable sexual needs of adolescent boys be tempered so they are able to sexually please the girls they desire to have intercourse with, it is generally acknowledged that future marital relationships between these same young people would stand a much greater chance of success.

In, the following story, a sixteen-year-old girl is initiated into sexual relations by a kind and gentle older man. She believes, as society had conditioned her to believe, that she must fall in love with him. On the other hand, his wife has been conditioned to believe that she must love her husband but not expect to enjoy him sexually. The husband has been conditioned to believe that he should love his wife-and he does-but not expect to fulfill himself sexually with her. Yet at the same time, society tells him that he, must feel guilty for enjoying his sexual relationship with the eager and willing teenage girl.

In psychological terminology, this is known as "Mixed Messages" - feeling one thing is right and being told that it is wrong-and our present society is filled with such confusing messages, creating unhappy and guilt-ridden individual loves and marriages.

Our story follows these three people as they search and, happily, find the sexually free and love filled answers that work for them. Without guilt, without remorse, without fake romantic notions, they emerge as three independent human beings who are table to erase sexual conservatism and guilt, from their lives.
