It’s never really about sex

It’s never really about sex, is it?

Then why do we care?

It’s never really about sex, is it?

Power.  Closeness.  Acceptance.

It’s never really about sex, is it?

Let’s argue about how to do it; properly, of course.

It’s never really about sex, is it?

Who is it okay to do it with?

It’s never really about sex, is it?

Let’s write novels, letters, plays, and poems.

It’s never really about sex, is it?

Get a good job, have a great marriage, start a family.

It’s never really about sex, is it?

Fame. Glory. Prestige.

It’s never really about sex, is it?

What is it really about then?

Fuck if I know, you figure it out.
