In this crazy, mixed-up world we're living in, sex sells…and we're buying! Problem? We're not sure WHY we're buying, or exactly what it is that we're even looking for!
Too often we're looking for 'love in all the wrong places"…strangers, co-workers, casual acquaintances…Madison Avenue knows that we will plunk down our hard-earned cash for anything that smacks of satisfying that "itch". But, if you're like me, I'm on to 'em! I'm looking for something…someone more than just a temporary satisfaction of hormones and skin. Probably, if you're still reading this, you are too.
So, I believe the future of sex…AND love…is far more complex than what our current culture has been willing to admit to itself. The media…TV, radio and the Internet…are "trailing indicators" of our search for more successful love-lives, marriages, relationships and even "casual encounters". With the rise of "social media", we are beginning to hear the people on the "street"…and they're interested in far more from life than more of the same.
There's a revolution afoot…and it's just getting going! I welcome input to this new blog…stay tuned, I hope I've whetted your appetite for MORE!
Yours Truly, deLuvDoc

Love, not so much. Love is hard to define, is not always pretty to those outside the knot, is different for each person, is tough to spy.
Even so, those suffering a recent heartache might want sex without love, hardly anyone wants love without sex these days.
As a consumer, I would totally buy products that sold me love, in fact, I sort of do -- there's a line of bath/body care called 'philosophy' that seems to sell love rather than sex, and I am a big fan... If this marketing trend catches, it could be big -- it's just that, not a lot of people love in the same way, so it's hard to nail down a consumer market to target.
Rated for the "making us ponder what it would be like to put our money where our hearts are" bits.
