I'm conflicted about this one:

I think that sex can be "just sex", but the majority of Americans (at least, this may be too narrow) are raised in a culture where sex is brainwashed into us to equal love.

Sex without love in these cultures is sometimes less than optimal.

Theoretically, one could distance one's self from the cultural influences, and just have fun, but that can be /very/ difficult, even for someone with a strong will. I know I can't do it.
