Choose your love story

In the past most of the people around the world had chosen a “beautiful” picture of sexuality, where they had to refrain themselves from having sex until they were married and then to only enjoy sex with the person to whom they were married.

Marriage was designed by humankind to enjoy sex in a very special way. But the question is if this does still work?

By following Inventors of value’s instructions (I mean the men), the marriage would help husbands and wives grow closer together in an intimate bond, allowing them to have the most fulfilling sex possible and helping them avoid potential dissolution of their marriages in divorce.

Is it a beautiful love story for two people to grow up as virgins-not having engaged in any kind of sexual gratification-and then on their wedding night present their bodies to each other saying, “I love you so much I saved myself for you and you alone by conviction. I respect you before I ever met you, I respected my dreams, my goals because I knew always what I wanted for my life and because I have a clear purpose in life and now I’m ready to give myself completely and exclusively to you”?

 Is this true love?! Is this the most beautiful love story of all? Is this the kind of start that can help a couple live happily ever after in a joyous marriage instead of ending in a heartbreaking divorce as so many do today?

Or do we prefer what do the modern songs and movies tell us?

I have loved  so many different people before I met you that I know we can have sex without any problem at all. After all, we’ve been doing it already. So tonight isn’t really that special. And did I remember to tell you? I have a few STD’s I’l be sharing with you. They are painful and impossible to cure. They’ll be with us for life. But Baby, I really love you. At least right now I think I do and I’m willing to stay with you until I get bored of you or until someone better comes along, by the way, I have had some abortions because I wasn’t prepared to have children and above all because I wanted to go on having sex to be prepared for this great night and give you a great pleasure”

Which love story would you rather experience?
