My experience is as follows:
I first LEARNED to love. (learning wasn't a pleasant thing in the beginning)
Only after that I could see the trees.
But before I could really see the trees, I learned seeing one tree, completely!
Hence, it is not the number of trees in the forest you have, but the number of trees you can see.
I have often noticed there are people who don't understand love is a matter of learning. It is easy to discover such are still playing on the level of ego, a state were you can experience yourself more than others. They go to the forest but don't see the trees. They cut down the forest and wonder when either trees actually existed in the first place. Then they virtualize their trees
I feel blessed that I can consciously understand the number of loves and each ones role, it is a true interconnectedness and beyond words form of communication, ever growing in the silent space of my deeper being.
At the same time, It's also a great test in loneliness.
Out of these experiences true partnership arose.
Only after having experienced partnership (love, spiritual affinity, marriage, kids, ..etc. etc.) the sexual act matured in to what it supposed to be. Far more pure and enjoyable, contributing a lot to total well being.
