 Sexual intimacy seems to be a sensitive subject, if not the hardest subject to discuss in marriages. Some couples have great sexual intimacy, others have hit rock bottom, oftentimes leading to divorce. Sex can be social and biological.

These observations were seen especially playing with toys. Young female children tend to play dress up and have imaginary families where they would be nurtured in the fantasy family.
