To live an erotic life is to follow the bouncing ball, to allow oneself to be distracted and enticed by something playful and childlike, or, to be more precise , by life itself in its playful mode . Our habitual seriousness can prevent us from seeing, and certainly appreciating, the erotic lures that come our way every day . Our medically minded seriousness about sex can also prevent us from glimpsing the cure of our sexual maladies and opportunities for expanding our sexuality . We may take it all too seriously , with too much adult knowledge and sophistication. Sex can sometimes be an initiation to the soul to come and play.
