It's always interesting to me to see how many things people take as sentimental, even sacred, rituals and practices, things that people write poetry and music about, turn out to be coldly economic when looked at in a broader historical context. This is especially true when it comes to anything having to do with marriage.
- mseebach 13y ago"Coldly economic" is too cynic IMO. It's a practical solution to a practical problem that must be overcome for two young lovebirds to engage in sexual intimacy. The solution to roughly the same problem today is a condom. Condoms are not the subject of many love songs, but they still enable something that very much is.
