Isn't it great to have a choice?

"And when one of them finds his other half, whether he be a lover of youth or a lover of another sort, the pair are lost in an amusement of love and friendship and intimacy, and one will not be out of the other's sight, as I may say, even for a moment; these are they who pass their lives with one another. For the intense yearning which each of them has towards the other does not appear to be the desire of intercourse, but of something else which the soul desires and cannot tell, and of which she has only a dark and doubtful presentiment...There is not a man among them whom when he heard this who would deny or who would not acknowledge that this meeting and melting in one another's arms, this becoming one instead of two, was the very expression of this ancient need. And the reason is that human nature was originally one and we were a whole, and the desire and the pursuit of the whole is called love."

Plato, The Symposium
