What a tragi-comical narrative !! But hardly surprise. ... even more than oxygen, sex paces everything in our world either because you do it or even more germanely because you don’t. Won’t/can’t chsnge anytime soon. So research into it is more inspite of it (and the halo around it) than because of it. Basil jide fadipe.
