| Summary |
No culture is ever completely successful or satisfied with its synthesis of romantic love, companionship, and sexual desire. Whether the setting is a busy metropolis or a quiet farming village, a tension always exists between a community's sexual habits and customs and what it believes to be the proper context for love.

The pursuit of love and sex has generated an infinite number of ambiguities and contradicti. |
