It's a privilege to sleep with someone.
OK, I might now have the attention of some. It struck me the other day what a privilege it is to be able to have a relationship with someone for many years, not to mention the extent to which that is true about someone you sleep with (like a spouse) for that long, too. Perhaps, another way to put it is, it is a privilege to love another person, especially over a long period of time.
When you consider what that involves; the vulnerability at so many levels, the risk, the imposition, the challenges, the forgiveness, the joy...loving someone is as much a wonder as being loved by someone.
