"sex is good for thinking....Levi-Strauss argues
that many people do not think in the manner of philosophers, by
manipulating abstractions. Instead,they think w/. . . concrete things from
everyday life . . . some things are especially good to think about.
They can be arranged in patterns, which bring out unsuspected
relationships and define unclear boundaries. Sex, I submit, is one of
them. As carnal knowledge works its way into cultural patterns, it
supplies endless material for thought, especially when it appears in
narratives--dirty jokes, male braggadocio, female gossip, bawdy
songs, and erotic novels. In all these forms, sex is not simply a
subject but also a tool used to pry the top off things and explore
their inner works. It does for ordinary people what logic does for
philosophers; it helps make sense of things."

History: A Reader
