Features: Sexuality (Sex) is an innate desire, inherent to every individual. It spans a lifetime, from birth to death, an unbroken continuum. Sex is not only related to material civilization but also to spiritual civilization. One can purchase sex, but not intimacy; one can purchase compliance, but not love; one can purchase pleasure, but not beauty. Sex is not only about biological attributes but also about social attributes. A beautiful sex life brings us more than just physical pleasure—it also provides a sense of belonging, intimacy, spiritual comfort, and a wonderful love in this world. In his book The Man in This World, Watanabe Junichi clearly states that even for men, the emergence of sex is accompanied by conquest, social identity, and recognition of value. If a person cannot find a suitable place in society, their anxiety will completely destroy the beauty of sex. To treat sex correctly means not avoiding, indulging, or making hasty judgments about it, but instead facing, understanding, tolerating, and expressing everything related to sex. Sex and love are closely linked, sex and reproduction are closely linked, and sex is closely linked to human culture and art. Regardless of what sex brings to a person's life—whether joy or sorrow, passion or melancholy, excitement or depression, longing or nostalgia, reminiscence or hope, satisfaction or desire, relief or loss, happiness or misfortune—all those profound emotions, those heart-wrenching losses, those irresistible desires, those uncontrollable impulses, those reasons to celebrate in life, and those unforgettable lifelong regrets are all, to some extent, inseparably and deeply connected to this single word—sex.
