Noah’s Ark

Years ago, I saw an exhibit of Noah’s Ark toys made by 19^th Century artisans.  These toy animals from more than a hundred years ago represented a cheerful and unquestioning sensibility of sexuality as solely in the service of reproduction.  I could not help but compare this simplistic view of couples and their relationships with the complex, if not absurdly convoluted, goings-on that characterize any real relationship.
