You are first aware of the scent of roses as you teleport into the Garden of Earthly Delights. You are standing next to a sparkling fountain with a sculpture of two people embracing in its center. The fountain is surrounded by pink, red and white roses. Through vine covered arbours you wander into a perfectly manicured park with fruiting trees and many discreet nooks and crannies. You can hear the soft laughing voices of lovers throughout.

I wish my parents would discuss (sex) with me instead of treating it as if it were an issue so dangerous to the human race that they would have their children killed by HIV rather than discussing it with them.
