If we're a natural man, we're attracted to a woman. You are our natural partner in the act of procreation.

What kind of thought comes up in your mind? You don't say, "Oh, what a great creature." Like a dog you may say, "Man, I'd sure like to have some of that!" That's not what you want.

I can see him breathing. He just smells like he's dead.
