Abstract
Eric Berne, in what the writer considers is still one of the best books available, says, “… sex is a matrix for all kinds of the most lively transactions: embraces and quarrels, seductions and retreats, construction and mischief. In addition, it is an aid to happiness and work, a substitute for all manner of drugs, and a healer of many sorts of sickness. It is for fun, pleasure and ecstasy. It binds people together with cords of romance, gratitude and love. And it produces children. For human living and human loving all that is what it is about, and all that is its purpose.”1
