Nature Quote by Stephen Harrod Buhner

“One finding is important for understanding the nature of our sexuality as men. That is that male infants, in the womb, have regular erections—so do male infants after birth. Our sexuality is as much a part of us as breathing, our need for food, our need for love.” quote by Stephen Harrod Buhner
