The Internet Bus Project is a step towards fulfilling Google’s mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. This initiative attempts to educate people about what the Internet is, and how it may be beneficial to their lives, by taking the Internet experience to them through a customized Internet-enabled bus, which will travel to several towns and cities across India.

In addition, Google has organized a school outreach program where a team of two people with laptops will branch out from the bus and visit schools that the bus will not been able to reach in order to teach children the benefits of the Internet.

Product Manager, Google India, Jagjit Chawla said that the bus would showcase content in both English and Gujarati and attempt to highlight the necessity and importance of Internet. According to Jagjit Chawla, “The Internet is a strong medium of knowledge. Our attempt through the Internet Bus is to spread the awareness of this medium and its relevance in our daily life.

Osho Shivo is an enlightened mystic, who works on variety of subjects impacting the life in modern times, hence helping people to cope with evolving consciousness. You can add him on his facebook profile by name Osho Shivo. You can also email him at thirdeyeastrology@gmail.com

You are also most welcome to join him for an interactive chat on the same subject on facebook on Saturday 9th October, 10PM, IST.

Interview

Sarvesh:  Generally, when it comes to spirituality, people think of God, religion, rituals etc. Modern generation however feel that ‘practicality’ and ’spirituality’ do not go hand in hand. Whereas you use the phrase ‘practical spirituality’. So, what do you think about these generalized perceptions and what is your own approach towards spirituality?

Osho Shivo:  It is true that Spirituality has often been misunderstood. It simply means, discovering your own spirit. We all know our own existence as body and mind, but we also exist as spirit. So spirituality means, discovering our own existence as spirit.

Sarvesh:  Why is it important at all to discover our own existence as a spirit? What purpose does it serve?

Osho Shivo:  Spirit has existed eternally, even before the whole creation began. It is the source of all the creation and hence contains all the qualities one wants to cultivate within oneself, like intelligence, creativity, courage, peace, bliss, intuition, connectivity etc. When one discovers his own spirit, he begins to access these qualities.

Sarvesh:  Shivoji, if we see the modern day personality development workshops, most of them focus on outer personality. They don’t speak of spirituality but yet claim to help the participants to develop a long list of qualities, some of which you just mentioned. Why should youngsters move towards spirituality then? A short example is most welcome.

Osho Shivo:  Most of the personality development work is based on trying to change OUR MENTAL PATTERNS. Our readers must have experienced that such efforts produce results only in the short term and one gets back to the old patterns very quickly. Why does this happen? Because our sub conscious and unconscious mind is 10 times stronger than the conscious mind. So even if you make efforts to change through your conscious mind, the conditioning of sub conscious and unconscious will negate the change very quickly and hence one will be back to the square one. Hence such patterns must be broken to release our full potential. Once such conditioning is broken, we start to get near to our spirit as blocks on the path to the spirit are removed and one begins to have more direct experience of spirit, and hence access all the qualities, which are the source of this creation itself.

Sarvesh:  Shivoji, we notice that youngsters are really intimidated by fear of failure. Its really painful to hear about very young boys and girls committing suicide over some petty failures. Can Spirituality help such youngsters? In what way ?

Osho Shivo:  One commits suicides, when one loses all the hopes of getting joy from life. If there is any hope, one would keep struggling to achieve. However, once such hope is shattered, one is left with no other option, but suicide. The only way to experience the joy of life is to access the joyous state of spirit. Joy of spirit exists eternally and it does not need favorable outer circumstances to sustain itself, it has no reason and hence it is available all the time. Our readers must have noticed that the happiness derived from outer success does not last long and the crisis always follow the achievement. And such a vicious circle can really dis hearten a person and impair his capacity to go through the failures as learning experiences. However, when one is in touch with the joy of spirit, every failure appears to be a learning experiences and hence it doesn’t make him disheartened. Rather, one learns and moves on in life with enthusiasm.

We can look at the spate of suicides committed by few models in recent past. Why did they commit suicide? Because love is one of the important need in life and when one loses all hope of getting love, she is shattered. But a person on spiritual path, will have the access to inner joy and love and hence no outer crisis can prompt her to commit suicide, as one is lovingly nourished from within.

Sarvesh:  That was a beautiful explanation. Shivoji, if we just look around , we notice that its the ’sex, money and power’ that rule the world. Recently, I invited one of my friends for the the meditation camp I attended and he refused saying – ‘Oh come on, this is the age to earn wealth and power, lets talk of meditation after 50.’ … Young people often face this dilemma. They think they need to give up many things before thinking of spirituality. Please throw some light on this.

Osho Shivo:  It is true that so many people are trying hard to attain wealth and power, yet the fact is that so few reach there. Not only those who fail, get depressed, but even those who got success also feel the despair, as they had thought that they will be happy after getting success, but they realize that it was just a mirage. We must know that it is the character of mind, not to be happy. It does not matter, whether you are success or failure, mind is always unhappy.

One may wonder, why the rate of suicide is much higher among the rich and powerful. But it is very natural, as the one who is not yet a success, lives in the hope that once he is rich and powerful, he will attain happiness. On the contrary, the rich and powerful tend to get extreme depression, as even after attaining success he is not happy and hence his all hopes of ever being happy in life, are shattered.

If you are in touch with your spirit, you will not only live in the state of deep joy, but there are much higher chances of attaining worldly success with much lesser stress and agony.

Sarvesh:  You often use this phrase ‘getting in touch with the spirit’. Can you in brief explain the actual method to do that, so that our readers who may be new to such concepts get at least a basic idea?

Osho Shivo:  There are two basic ways to get in touch with the spirit. First is by way of unraveling of conditioning of mind, acquired since childhood (by way of ontology- the science of being and hypnosis) as well as during past lives (by way of past life regression therapy). Second is awakening of chakra awareness by way of pranayam, meditation and samadhi.

Sarvesh:  One important question that is often asked is that considering the busy lifestyle in big cities ,is it really possible to include these spiritual techniques in your schedule, on a consistent basis? Considering so many temptations around, how would you motivate our readers to stick to them?

Osho Shivo:  When I hear such reasons, I  remember the story of a woodcutter, who was driven by doing maximum work and earning max money by way of chopping trees in forest. So when he started, he cut a lot of wood on first day and earned good money and he was happy. He did a lot of work and earned good money, but by the seventh day, he realized that he can only chop much lesser wood, in spite of making similar effort. Why? Because his saw had become blunt. Someone suggested him to sharpen the saw, so that he can again be efficient at this work. But he refused, saying that he doesnt want to waste his time in sharpening the saw.

This story expresses the state of those, who say that because of tight schedules, they cant find time for spiritual practices. But such practices can only enhance their effectiveness to much higher level. People are so much stressed, that their inherent qualities and talents become blunt and they cant be as effective. Hence they must sharpen their saws and the only way for that, is to access the spirit.

Sarvesh:  That’s it from my side Shivoji. I think you have explained the practical approach towards spirituality in our life in a very clear manner and one which could be easily understood by a layman. Would you like to give any final comments?

Osho Shivo:  I would like to invite the readers to experience a whole different approach towards accomplishments. Most of the people try harder and harder to get success, but by practicing spirituality, they can access their inherent talents and cultivate intuition and hence attain much bigger success with lesser stress in their lives.

Sarvesh:  Success with lesser stress. That’s what we all desire. Thank you Shivoji for your extremely insightful yet simple answers to the complex issues of life.

Osho Shivo:  Thank you so much Sarvesh for your insightful questioning. You raised questions, which may be there in the mind of many readers and I hope that this will open a whole new possibility in the lives of readers.

Epic Browser is said to be the first-ever web browser for India. You must be very well aware and user of famous web browsers like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape Navigator, Opera and etc. But this browser comes with the Indian touch and style. One of reasons it can be called an Indian browser is its facility of typing in Indian languages. This browser is founded by a Bangalore based company called Hidden Reflex, headed by Alok Bhardwaj.

Alok Bhardwaj, formerly a mergers & acquisitions investment banker for technology and other companies, is the founder of Hidden Reflex. Mr. Bhardwaj earned a degree in philosophy from Princeton University in 1996. He is a founding member of PodVoters.org, and is also the proprietor of a New York City-based educational services firm. His interests outside of technology are world music, cinema, art, poetry, and science.

Enjoy the interview with the creator of this brilliant browser.

Interview

Q.: In the existing net of many browsers, some of them are highly popular such as Firefox and Internet Explorer, what really inspired you to create the ‘Epic Browser?’

The Web browser is increasingly the most important piece of software on your system and it usage is high and going higher. The user experience and interface of the browser, however, hasn’t changed in 15 years since the initial browsers Mosaic and Spyglass. We felt that your web browser should do more for you—that was our inspiration. One key inspiration for India was to develop a tool that could help Indian language conversation and discourse move online. At present, almost all Indian internet activity has been in English but with Epic, Hindi and regional language speakers can share their thoughts and ideas online in Indian languages as effortlessly as English speakers.

The big browsers like IE want to deliver a generic browsing experience. We want to deliver something really special.

Q.: Tell us in detail about the creation process of Epic Browser. How was the environment, hurdles that came across and that sort of interesting stories that happened during its development phase.

One of the key things that was important for us was moving from where we were trying to do things that were technically challenging and might impress geeks to doing things that ordinary internet users would actually care about and love. One example of this is the full-page wallpaper innovation in Epic—the idea of bringing wallpaper into the browser came from us realizing how important personalization was to users especially Indian users even though it’s not something that might impress geeks.

Q.: How was the initial response from users from INDIA?

So far we’re overwhelmed and very thankful to all of India for its support. Not just India, the world as Epic has been downloaded in 178 countries. In just its first month, Epic has cleared 450,000 downloads which we feel is a tremendous start. This is just the beginning for Epic–we’re working as hard as we can to keep improving Epic and launched an update just 2 weeks ago and will have another update coming up soon.

Q.: Epic Browser costs nothing. How does your company look at the earning potential from it?

We can earn revenues from driving searches, from driving e-commerce transactions, and also potentially from advertising. For example, if you want to support Epic and make your life easier, you can use the Travel sidebar in Epic to book your next flight and Epic will earn a commission.

Q.: How do you justify that this browser is “the first-ever web browser for India”?

We’re not aware of any other browser that really has content and language support which represents not all but a large, large part of India—news for every single state, language support for 12 Indian languages, 1500+ Indian themes and wallpapers.

Q.: Tell us about the good stuff, news that came to your company for the first time only because of ‘Epic Browser’.

SpeakBindas.com e-mailed us to interview us! Many other technology companies including some of the very biggest in both India and the world also reached out to us to partner with us and or congratulate us.

Q.: What’s next?

We intend to keep working to make Epic synonymous with “Security” “Productivity” “Privacy” and “India”…so we’ll keep improving Epic along those areas, making it more secure and private and improving our sidebar apps. We’ll also see how we can continue to make the product more catered to an Indian audience.

Q.: Through platform of SpeakBindas, what special message you would like to convey to users of Epic Browser?

Thanks all Epic users for your support—do keep sending us your feedback, we’re working as hard as we can to make Epic even better and to make it the most secure, most productive and most “Indian” browsing experience of any web browser.

Interview

Sarvesh: Well, just a few day back, I had been to a near by Cyber-cafe and what I saw there was really shocking..A small kid, not more than 10 or 11 years old, was curiously glued to a porn site..What according to you is the reason as to why we get attracted to pornography? And why is the age of watching the first porn decreasing day by day?

Dr. Hemant Mittal:

1. 1st question: The reasons to get attracted to pornography?
Medically pornography leads to the following type of stimulations:
a. biological- audio-visual stimulation leads to generation of positive chemicals like dopamine and pleasure-center activation in the brain. This stimulation also stimulates sexual organs, which reinforces this behavior.
b. psychological- it stimualtes the repressed sexual desires of an individual. Giving it a vision and sound.

2. Why is the age of porn exposure decreasing?
a. increased availability of the same.
b. taboo about sex, which makes it more adventurous to watch.
c. If any adult at home or nearby vicinity is involved in the same, a curiosity to imitate the elderly male figure.

Osho Shivo:
Well.. why we get attracted to pornography? Because we have sick attitude for sex and nudity. Our society has so much guilt for our own bodies that it becomes something to be hidden and then there are elements who take advantage if it by being in the business of pornography.

In last century, there was a movement in Britain, with the objective that that the animal should also be clothed, as they roam around nude and it is indecent. I am certain, if that movement became a success, there would be huge animal pornography, publishing the pictures of nude animals and people would have been glued to the nudes of animals.

We could have handled sex in very natural manner and our children would move gracefully into sex, when the time came with the parental guidance. If such a healthy attitude existed, there would have been no pornography.

Sarvesh: Hemantji, you have given us the biological aspects whereas Shivoji, you have put light on the social attitudes.. But I see that there is one common thread running in both of your’s answers..And that is REPRESSION of something which is extremely NATURAL. There is a certain age around 13 – 14 , that suddenly a boy or a girl become suddenly aware of the sexual changes occurring in body. There is a wave of emotional, and sexual turmoil. So dont you feel that getting attracted to pornographic or sexually stimulating material is also natural ? Wouldn’t it be another suppression if we prevent children from doing that? Or is addiction the only result?

Dr. Hemant Mittal:

1. from a neuro-psychiatric point geting attracted to anything that is sexually stimulating is normal.
2. preventing a child from exposure to same, will only increase his/her curiosity about the same.
3. but a child becomes and more intrigued about the same because:
a. the taboo that the topic of sex carries around it
b. Lack of explanation of what the meaning of sex, and need of sex is

c. The meaning of pornography is explained to him by his friends who are equally ignorant on the topic of sex.

4. pornography is like watching a Rajnikanth movie.. the actions performed are good visuals.. not realistic. But this explanation is never given to a child.

5. when we talk about pornography addiction-
than its more of an expression of obsessive sexual thoughts.
it further leads to an obsessive compulsive behavior pattern, whereby masturbation and achievement of orgasm is the main goal.
6. pornography addiction doesn’t happen in all cases of people exposed to adult material. The chances are higher in those with high anxiety levels.

Osho Shivo:

It is true that sexuality awakens at the age of 13/14. But our social attitude is such, that parents want to deny or ignore the sexuality of their children. This throws children in chaos and they face the onslaught of desire and guilt and there is no one to guide them in healthy way. Pornography awakened desire, which remain unfulfilled. Sexual energy can also become creative energy, if it finds deeper acceptance, but it rather creates conflict as one is not able to handle it because of shame associated with it.

Sarvesh: Beautifully explained hemantji. The actions performed are good visuals..not realistic..Absolutely true. I know a few cases where divorces have happened just because the wife was not able to enact the scene from a porno which the husband expected her to!

Dr. Hemant Mittal:

yes sarvesh,
That’s a very common problem.

a. many men take upon pornography as the manual for sex.
things like:
i. sexual position
ii. performance time
iii. usage of sex toys
iv. even dresses during sexual intercourse are defined by pornography

unfortunately most of the actions performed are by professional artists and people fail to understand that.

2. i have had n number of cases, where men want to last 30min in bed.

On being asked do their wives want the same.. a 30min sexual intercourse. The simple answer is.. she has to comply for my pleasure.

I have men, who have performed anal intercourse with their wives.
unfortunately, they didn’t understand that an enema was required prior to it. and got the shock of their life.

Sarvesh: Well, whats your opinion on pornography as a medium of expressing sexual freedom? Whats so bad about pornography that we are not ready to accept it as a mode of expression?

Dr. Hemant Mittal:

hmm.. interesting question.

1. I would say its a great way to stimulate your senses. like a movie..
but its not an medium to express sexual freedom.
2. The reason being that pornography is an industry. and for the benefit of trade, only that is shown which can be sold.
A medium for sexual freedom should include emotional and physical expression in the true meaning of the word.
3. pornography is a visual stimulant. is it bad??.. well its like alcohol.. a few pegs don’t harm until you don’t get addicted.

Osho Shivo:

Unfortunately pornography not only awaken the desire which is going to remain unfulfilled, it also reinforces wrong fundamental about what the sexual pleasure is. Pornography deals sex as a purely physical matter and such a approach can never satisfy a person, when imitated. The beauty of sex is in deep love and this fact is totally forgotten in pornography.

Unfortunately, pornography phenomenon have risen along with lowering sexual satisfaction in society. Even though we may claim to be a sexually free society, the level of sexual satisfaction is far lower than what used to happen many years back. What is the reason? Because manipulation, cunningness and power games has entered the mind of our whole generation, which has caused premature ejaculation (for men) and lack of orgasm ( for women). So imagine, on one hand people are so much exposed to porn, on other hand they have lesser means to feel sexual satisfaction. Such a split is truly dangerous for society.

Dr. Hemant Mittal:

i totally agree with shivo on it..

Sarvesh: Absolutely! Its clear from the answers of both of you that pornography cannot be a source of sexual freedom at all. But from what shivoji, has just said, I see a catch-22 situation over here.. Since the society itself has got ‘infected with an unnatural and distorted attitude towards sex, then what can be expected from the parental guidance? Can parents really ‘guide’ their children in this matters? How can one victim guide another victim? Whats their real role?

Dr. Hemant Mittal:

1. parental guidance- not to hide pornography, and explain what it really is.
also help children understand their body changes, and sexual changes.

2. parents can guide their children. by being open about sex.
by giving them true and quality knowledge about sex.

3. a victim who gets true knowledge about sex. can help educate others

Osho Shivo:

Unfortunately, the guilt for sex is such a disease, that is has entered in deep psyche of our society. In fact, I feel that non recognition of sexual identity of their children is the first reason, why the distance develops between parents and children. You are very true Sarvesh, how can one victim guide another? Even the parents have not lived sex like a divinity, a mode of worship, so how can they guide their children?

Sarvesh: Shivoji, this question is specifically for you, although Hemantji you too are free to express your views..
Shiivoji, you mention this ‘unfulfilled sexual urges’ in your previous answer..What are they exactly? And why are such urges dangerous for the society?

Osho Shivo:

What I mean by unfulfilled sexual urges is the onslaught of sexual desires from all corners, including free availability of porn, but unavailability of good sexual relationship at the same time. Awakening of such desire without satisfying it, is really dangerous, as it gives rise to excessive masturbation, dealing of opposite sex as sexual objects, dangerous gender struggle between men and women, pre mature ejaculation and lack of orgasm.

If sexual energy can be guided up the chakras, which happens in a deeply loving relationship, it can turn the person more creative, compassionate, generous and intelligent. On the other hand, when the sexual energy flow downwards, as it does in any just physical sexual activity, person become destructive, greedy, lackluster and manipulative.

Sarvesh: Hemant ji, this question is for you. Whats your take on guiding the sexual energy as shivoji has said. Is it really enough to work out this issue only on the ‘attitude’ level ? Or is there something else? What does modern medical science say about this?

Dr. Hemant Mittal:

1. Sexual energy when defined in a medical science language, can be said to compromise of:
a. Hormones- specifically testosterone and estrogen
b. Psychological sexual desires- that are a combination of moral and social values.
2. The sexual hormones as in testosterone are known to have anabolic effect as in protein generation for muscular build up
but also they are known to affect the brain by altering with the serotonin mechanism and inducing negative emotions like anger.
hence over production of such hormones, which are triggered by excessive violent or sexually proactive thoughts can introduce emotional and psychological behavior problems.
3. coming to the psyco-sexual development described by the father of modern psychiatry, Sigmund Freud, he says.. that every person moves towards happiness. The purest form of happiness is the sexual gratification or gratification of the libido. It’s when the ego is in sync. with the super-ego. So if a person develops a mal-adaptive way of expressing these emotions, he is bound to find pleasure in negative actions.

Sarvesh: So, Hemantji, as a medical professional, what will be your advice towards GUIDING these sexual hormones.. How can they be directed towards appropriate channel? And what according to medical science is the APPROPRIATE CHANNELl to DEFUSING the SEXUAL HORMONES and the UNCONTROLLED SEXUAL DESIRES? Please throw some light on the guiding principles.

Dr. Hemant Mittal:

1. sexual hormones are secreted on being stimulated and having desire.
2. the way to guide them is having healthy knowledge about sex.
for example- as i mentioned, while watching a Rajnikanth movie, an individuals knows that its not reality. he has learnt it through experience, that you can hit a person so hard he will fly for 30meters.
similarly knowledge about what is sex, what is healthy sex and the need of both partners to be satisfied is very important for development of a relationship and both the individuals involved.
3.its very important to understand the reason for uncontrolled sexual desires?
a. sex being a taboo, creates a sense of mystery around it. anything that is seen as negative makes a person indulge into it.. since its a pleasurable experience, it reinforces the behavior pattern.
b. personality of an individual- most men in India are very shy to talk openly with the opposite sex. they just keep fantasizing about some girl in their class, college or workplace.
its important to diffuse this sexual tension, where talking to a girl means she will end up being ur girl-friend or land up in bed with u.
c. moral values- many of the moral values we preach upon in today’s world are just not practical.
i. a woman has to be virgin till her marriage, while a man doesn’t have the same compulsion
ii. sex only after marriage is right
iii. once married, a woman is bound to subject to the sexual desires of her husband
iv. in a marriage, what matters is male sexual satisfaction…
v. a man can have an extra-marital affair, and he is forgiven as having committed a mistake. but if the woman does it, she gets to be punished.

These moral values, add to the sexual tension that an individual already carries in his mind, thanks to sexual taboo and personality issues. this destroys sexual expression.he/she tries to find the best way out, which is through fantasy…

Sarvesh: Thanks hemantji for that view. Shivoji, you have earlier mentioned in one of your articles that all the evils in this world which cause tremendous pain to humanity, like terrorism, pollution, corporate greed etc, have distorted approach towards sex as one of the core reasons.. I remember it was a bit difficult for me to digest this. How would you clarify this to the intellectual class?

Osho Shivo:

Yes, it is very true Sarvesh. If we look deeply into this whole phenomenon. A loving man woman relationship is so deeply satisfying. When one doesnt get that deep joy, he / she tries to find it in worldly ways, for example, by grabbing the power, trying to accumulate wealth etc. If we had deep ecstasy between men and women, this whole world will be so much more loving and they will know it is futile to run after power and materialistic possessions. Then we wont be destroying our planet, nor youth can be allured into terrorism by way of promise of virgin girls in paradise.

Sarvesh: I think the readers by now would be clear with the causes and consequences of Pornography addiction. Now talking on the specific issue as to how to free oneself from this addiction, I would like to ask you both about the specific techniques that can be used. Hemantji, you can give us the medical perspective and Shivoji, you can explain to us the spiritual methods..

Osho Shivo:
If one has a deeply loving and ecstatic sexual experiences, one will not be attracted to the fallacy of pornography, One must cultivate deep love and surrender in relationship and freedom from porn is automatic. Deep trust and surrender to each other is the key to attain ecstasy in sex. Also, it is very important to be in touch with soul, when lovers enter in sex. When one is in strong desire, the experience of sex can not be good. On the other hand if one is in deep peace, sex energy rises up the chakras and hence turn the lovers more creative, energetic, intelligent and powerful. It is wonderful to meditate or dance together, before entering into love making. There is also a wonderful couple meditation techniques devised by Osho, called “Naadbrahma meditation for couples”, which is based on humming together by both the lovers, while holding hands. I have suggested the humming technique to many couples before making love and I have gotten the miraculous feedback of transformation in very short time. Readers can search on You Tube and Google to more about this meditation.

Dr. Hemant Mittal:

from a medical perspective:
1. identification of it being a pornography addiction- it has to be classified as being a uncontrollable habit.

2. once it has been identified.- a qualitative and quantitative psychoanalysis of the individual on:
a. knowledge about sex.
b. reasons for usage of pornography
c. desires/fantasies that have been created due to pornography
d. sexual experimentation done by an individual because of exposure to pornography
e. relationship stress that has arised due to it.

3. counseling- cognitive behavioral therapy is a good method of empowering the individual with knowledge about sex and pornography

4. in severe cases, specially in one’s where pornography addiction has lead to physical and sexual abuse, medications are prescribed.
Considering the side-effect of many of them, I recommend only new age, non-sedative, non-addictive medications to be given for a few days or weeks to help the brain come out of the addictive cycle.

Sarvesh: Thank you hemantji and shivoji for suggesting such wonderful solutions. Man is a composition of body, mind & spirit. Some techniques would work on the level of body and the mind while others work on the ‘being’ level. So we can sum up by saying that in order to disentangle the youth from this monstrous addiction called ‘pornography’, the society should see to it that, not only are the young children trained to develop a healthy body, but also a healthy mind and spirit. Psychoanalysis can go a long way, however true spirituality would make the journey much smoother. A spiritually healthy society is one who respects and develops true love and compassion. Such a society would develop a naturally matured outlook towards women and sex. Then there is no question of developing any addiction, in the first place.

Thanks Hemantji and Shivoji for your wonderful contributions. I hope young readers of this interview, who may be already addicted to pornography, will definitely see a silver lining and find tremendous hope. Others will find this interview give them an extremely fresh, lively and matured outlook towards sex and also towards life in general.
Wishing all the best to both of you.
