"LF: You make the argument that we’ve been sold on this 
idea that there’s just one kind of love: monogamous heterosexual love that makes a baby.

That exclusive-genital sexuality is great if it’s with the right person, but we focus on how much it sucks not to have that; we rarely talk about how often it also sucks. Like, marriages are often unhappy—the No. 1 source of harm to a woman is her intimate partner."
