I cannot imagine having a physical relationship with a woman. I have not done that. But I really love women.
The cinema began with a passionate physical relationship between celluloid and the artists and craftsmen and technicians who handled it manipulated it and came to know it the way a lover comes to know every inch of the body of the beloved.

There is a physical relationship with a woman that you don't have with anybody else but that's not about love. Love is a spiritual thing.
When one has love for God one doesn't feel any physical attraction to wife children relatives and friends. One retains only compassion for them.
Almost all of our relationships begin and most of them continue as forms of mutual exploitation a mental or physical barter to be terminated when one or both parties run out of goods.
