Living In The Moment, Thinking About The

Americans Are Fascinated By Our Sexuality And Frightened By It. And During The Reagan And Bush Era You Got An Entire Decade Of Anti-sex Government. Sex Is Not The Enemy. It Is The Beginning Of Civilization, Family And Tribe. Sex Can Be Twisted And Exploited, But In Its Most Essential Form, It's The Best Part Of Who We Are. And It Frightens Us.

Historically The Puritans Left England To Escape Religious Persecution, And They Promptly Turned Around And Started Persecuting The People They Didn't Agree With - The Scarlet Letter A, And The Stocks And The Dunking Board Came From That. That Puritanism Is Still There.

I've Always Had A Tremendously Optimistic Attitude About Life, And The Setbacks Are Never Really Setbacks For Me, Because I See It As A Part Of The Adventure. And If You Don't Hold Onto Your Dreams, You're A Very Foolish Fellow, Because Dreams Are What Life Is About.

I Think Our Society Is Fragmented. Messages Regarding Human Sexuality Have Always Been Mixed In America. We Are A Schizophrenic Nation. We Were Founded Initially By Puritans, Who Escaped Repression Only To Establish Their Own. Then The Founding Fathers Gave Us The Constitution To Separate Church And State. But The One Thing That Got Left Out Of All Those Laws Was Human Sexuality.
