“We mistake sex for romance. Guys are taught that pushing a girl up against a wall is romance. Sex is easy; you can do it with anyone, yourself, with batteries. Romance is when someone you like walks into a room and they take your breath away. Romance is when two people are dancing and they fit together perfectly. Romance is when two people are walking next to each other and all of a sudden they find themselves holding hands, and they don’t know how that happened”
― John C. Moffi
QUESTION: What is romance, what is sex, and why are they sometimes the same and sometimes not the same?
ANSWER: Western society sometimes collapses these concepts to mean the same thing. We want romance with sex -- and we want sex with romance -- but they are different. It's when we get both that we are most happy!
Let's start with sex. Sexuality can mean sex with your self, sex with a stranger, sex with a friend without love, sex with love, sex with romance, and any number of other combinations -- still, it's sex.
Romance can be defined as adventure, a new relationship, excitement, fascination with someone that may or may not be real, exotic, out of the ordinary special treatment, and
intense, often short-lived love affairs. The definition of "romance" in the Webster's dictionary includes four, out of a total of twelve, references to love. The other eight definitions refer to writing and telling stories, imaginative tales or invented, fictionalized ephemeral adventures -- romance novels, with sex added in.

The ancient Kama Sutra details exact step-by-step lessons on wooing, courtship, romantic advances and practical solutions to obtaining both willing and reluctant lovers. Coy and furtive eye glances, specific movements of hands and limbs, how close to stand and how long to glance -- these instructions portray the science of the romantic, mysterious processes that lead up to sexual activity. It has completely separate chapters on sexual activities, though these sections don't seem nearly as detailed as the romance ones!
