'The body is a gift, given to man by God. It is the means by which man receives all other gifts. It is a gift which man may give to another or, receive from another. It is the gift which, when given, creates another body, another gift, and so on and so forth, through an entire anthropological economy built up on donation and self-giving love.'
Melinda Selmys, Sexual Authenticity, p.97.
