Abstract
Love boosts one’s desire for sex by triggering sexual desire. People’s erroneous control over sex and sexual relationships, unfortunately, causes enormous harm. Some people believe that “Platonic” love is the purest and most perfect form of love. In actuality, sex is a multifaceted topic with many dimensions. Sexuality should be approached with an open mind and an open heart, and sexuality should be enjoyed.
