ABSTRACT
Let's talk about pleasure. You want pleasure? A lot of pleasure is conditioned. It's anticipation. It's not in the skin. It's not in the genitalia. It's what it means that imbues it with that sense of joy. Otherwise, it's just like eating a peach in the summer. I mean, it's really nice, but it's not ecstatic - well, it depends on the peach, but it's usually not that ecstatic. It's the symbolic investment that makes sex ecstatic.
