I've just re-read Behavioural Modification, and also stumbled upon this utterly ludicrous book (scroll down to read the first chapter).
The author argues, using Maslow's hierarchy of needs and asserting that sex is one of those needs: Unsatisfied needs lead to ill health (mental or physical or both); a cure is achieved by satisfying these needs.
and goes on to say: Unfortunately, our government has totally abdicated its responsibility to uphold the natural right to sexual fulfillment...

Man, we're going rapid-fire here. A Study in Sherlock, it is.

Dark is fine. Dark is good, as long as we also have lots of comfort and a happy ending :)
