"Love ain't nothing but sex misspelled"
~Harlan Ellison

What a powerful quote! When I first read this quote a few years back, I laughed. It made no sense. But now, oh yea, I get it. But what I don't get, is guys.

I have this friend, we're gonna call her "Imani". Imani has a boyfriend, we're gonna call him "Adam". Now, before Imani and Adam became boyfriend and girlfriend, they were nothing more than friends, who occasionally had sex. Over the course of a few months, they continued to have increasing amounts of sex, and in turn spending a lot more time together. They soon began to fall in "love", and this is when they became boyfriend and girlfriend.

Imani really like Adam. He was a VERY nice person. He would buy her things, do just about anything for her, and even got along GREAT with the family! All she had to give him was sex, and everything was fine. Imani had really fallen in love with Adam.

Oneday though, Imani went to church and heard a POWERFUL word from God that truly moved on her life. She realized that she didn't like living in sin, and made a vow to God to strive for holiness, in exchange of him ridding her of her "desires" to sin. Imani felt great after this resolution, and because she THOUGHT that Adam loved her so, he would understand.

But Adam's perspective was different. You see, Adam DID infact love Imani, but not for who she was---- for what she did. Adam didn't know how to cope with Imani's idea of the cessation of their sex life, and so he snapped. Adam and Imani's relationship was over. What happened to the love?

When Imani called me with the news, it hit me. Men and women love WAY differently, though they engage in the same actions. Sex, while it may be important to the woman, is near everything to the immature male, and when a woman takes that away from a man, what has he got to love? I hope you don't think it's you...

So basically what I'm saying is to the women is, be careful of the circumstances under which you fall in love, and be sure to question when he says he loves you, why that may be. Is he really in love with you? Or is it that he is in love with the fluid-secreting hole between your legs? Think about it. Don't be an "Imani". I'm just saying...
