Phoenix Maplewood a lesson in love

You've both hit upon the same important subject, she observed, and gave a nod of approval to the pair of them. It seemed their initial questions about the physical act of baby-making had been answered, and they were now moving on to what brought mummy and daddy together.

The subject of love and attraction. The natural purpose of having sex is to create puppies, but many couples also do it because they enjoy it — and, perhaps, because they're in love. To have puppies you need one male and one female, but anyone can fall in love or be attracted to each other. That's why you may see couples who are considered 'mates' but who are all-female or all-male. These couples can't have puppies by breeding with each other, no, she confirmed, and being mates doesn't mean you have to have puppies anyway. Love and sex may seem scary, she reassured them, but it's also a fascinating world to discover, and, if you're lucky, it can light up your life in a way you never expected.
