It may look that way in the movies, but in real life we are having sex WHILE living. Our whole lives touch our sex lives, and compromise is inevitable and not at all a bad thing. ~ Cory |  | | | Making Sexual Compromises | | Compromising is not the same thing as settling, and while we may do one or the other or both, what seems as important as what we do is making sure that we're making choices that are as informed and free as possible.
