In balance: The natural attraction between the sexes ceases to be compelling, and becomes merely a subject of interest. Men cease to feel obliterated by women. (Notice, at mixed parties, how often the men present remain silent). Women, in turn, cease to feel individually bullied by men. Men stop (in a positive way) feeling tenderly protective of women, and women stop depending on men for protection. Both sexes appear to each other as human beings, simply, equal in worth like the two sides of a coin.
