We are "sexual" creatures in that every interaction we have with each other has a male/female, masculine/feminine quality to it. Even in simple connections, such as with a sales clerk, gender influences how we speak and act. Not because we think there's actual intercourse in the offing; rather, we simply relate to one another differently depending on sex and gender.

Psychology Today on “mate copying,” among the many elements of attraction:

Quotes by Michael Rittenhouse  (?)

“Far too many advocates rail against this or that sexual practice; few state clearly and explicitly what we are for.”
Michael Rittenhouse, Sex: What Your Parents Didn't Tell You

“Even those fortunate ones among us who get sex right don’t necessarily feel compelled to talk about it. For all they know, everybody else is having the same experience. Sex being a naturally private act, we don’t share experiences with others the way we would about an especially good steakhouse.”
Michael Rittenhouse, Sex: What Your Parents Didn't Tell You

“Parents who always whisper the word "sex" unintentionally tell their kids, "I don't want to talk about this. Get your answers elsewhere.”
