C>Yes, I also feel sex is connected with love.
 
No, not just connected. They are interlinked.
 
C>...keep falling in love over and over again...you love gets shallow.
 
And if you don't bother to love the one you make love to, that's just
as shallow.  (Looks around, notes thin ice, backs up a few steps...)
I mean, yes, naturally you feel as if you care deeply for the person
you are making love to...some sort of a hormonal thing, I guess.  But
you said it yourself...it's different from the kind of real love that
you feel for Turtle.  It may be intimate, but it's a really ersatz 
type of intamacy.  It's a...surrogate---substitution type of intamacy.
It's fake...it's nothing more than simple lust in disguise.
 
Oh, shit...listen to me...  "Ah, yes, ye sinners!  Cast away the Lust
from you and only indulge in the love sanctified by the Lord!  Can you
say, Hallejula?" 
 
Well, anyway, I'm serious...it's not really love.  And news flash: I 
don't fall in love too often.  Love is a really serious thing, not for
casual use.
