"A Gentleman in Distress"
Love is
being a sixteen-year-old boy
and saying, "Not tonight, sweetie,
I'm all out of condoms.
I'll buy more tomorrow."

Most aren't like this. It's a rare level of self-control and responsibility for someone at that age. But I have known some who were like that, and I feel that it deserves recognition.
For some people, it's the information-handling that grows in early. For others, it's the social skills.
