    I am struck by how sexuality reveals itself to us and our partners more as we get older, a richer, deeper experience. I’ve had some nice surprises! I feel very sad about what I now feel were limiting expectations placed on me by rigid old style feminism and the opportunities for pleasure and fulfillment lost as a result. I now understand men and women have different energies of giving and receiving respectfully, and this does not imply inequality. Actually this point came up in your quiz. Vive la difference! As Simone de Beauvoir once wisely commented, ‘We are all passive to the flesh’. Mmmm
