So I think if you're not getting the basic human needs such as intimacy and love, then I think you would turn to sex and maybe other places to fill those desires, to fill those emotional needs.

I'm not saying that it's necessarily a bad thing to turn to sex, but I think it's a bad thing to turn to sex when you're trying to substitute sex for emotional affirmation, if you're using sex as a nourishment because something else in your life is missing.

If you want to be a person of hope and a positive person, someone that really respects life, then religion can teach you better than any other institution how to love.
