What’s the reward of intimacy if there’s nothing close to commitment?
Sex is an incredible thing. It’s how you got here.
But if there’s one thing I’ve learned over my lifetime, it’s that intimacy can never truly be rewarding unless it’s accompanied by commitment.

In fact, women are having more sex than men currently.
