The conditions of modern life, and the way in which heterosexuality is organized make it difficult for men and women to mobilize their desires - it´s difficult for them to be able to speak and express love between each other. In the past there were a number of rituals and codes from which one could declare love and act on their feelings. Those codes and rituals have disappeared - the rules of the game are no longer the same.
