...college student, single and realistic. I have always considered myself nowise naive of the ways of the world, yet cannot help feeling distressed at this off-hand nourishment given to seeds of infidelity which might otherwise remain dormant.

Whether or not the statistics are true, I do not believe that they should be gleefully flouted about as if to say, "Guess what's happening in one out of five marriages! Wise...

...perhaps to his particular audience his shallows of the spirit seem like deeps. On the other hand, the screamers and shriekers and long, ecstatic moaners, as he drags out tormentedly "a favourite of my Morn and Dad's," are clearly getting a separate satisfaction out of their own behaviour.
