Breath
‘I wont be holding my breath.’ ‘Breathtaking.’ ‘Take a breather.’ ‘Save your breath.’ All these common phrases suggest lives lived in tension, high in the chest, keeping control of the breath.

Humans
We are physical beings. The greatest expression of this physical reality is considered by most to be loving sexual union between two consenting adults.
