		<description>This post made me both very happy and very sad - happy that you are writing this and that it&#039;s possible to LOVE sex and all the ways it can be wonderful, and sad that for me, I don&#039;t feel that way and even have trouble believing it exsists sometimes.

Love your writing Kelly!</description>

		<description>&quot;Which is why virginity cannot be lost. There is no loss. There is only gain. Unfolding, knowing, more.&quot; Wow... What a profoundly moving statement.

As an unusually forward-thinking Christian, I am often disturbed by mainstream Christianity&#039;s puritanical and self-loathing attitudes about sex. At best, I feel they are dangerously misleading. Your blog is such a breath of fresh air.

Whether I agree with everything you say isn&#039;t even relevant. What IS relevant is that YOU ARE SAYING IT...

Anyway, my point is that your statement is liberating and eye-opening on so many levels. It makes me really cherish the sexual aspect of my relationship with my second wife. We understand each other. I have had a number of sexual partners, but she is the only one that I can honestly say I am fearless with. This is reciprocated by her as well. You statement says we never lost anything, we gain... every single time... and that is so true. Thank you for your honesty.</description>
