As an almost-60 woman, this sugar thing out there in the world is disturbing. I know all the talk about "sex positive" and blah blah, but $ passing hands for sex is still a sad piece of disengagement with Life... to my thinking. Each piece chips away at meaning. And leaves us without.

And as a past-caregiver and widow, I know that love comes with a heavy price. But some prices/costs add and don't subtract. My two cents.
