Taking the Fun Out of the S Word

We all know about the birds and bees; they seem so natural when we're sixteen and full of hormones, ready to share the love we feel through our material bodies.

Then what happens ten years or more later when you're with the one you love for life and suddenly the rush of hormones is absent?

I've read a lot about people who exhaust themselves trying to get pregnant and others who time it just right for the days of the ovulation cycle plus everything in between.

It's a grand irony that if you are sixteen you can get pregant in one go and if you are thirty one you have to plan it. A question for heaven.
