Sexual fixation

I think the following sentence makes a very important point:

Critics who assume that everything "is all about sex" reveal more about themselves than they do about the minds of early Church members.

However, I think the tone of this comment is rather smug. I tried to improve this sentence a few times myself, but didn't like what I came up with. I think the best approach would be to find some scholarly article that addresses differences in attitudes toward the sexual nature of relationships in the 20th century vs. 19th century America. I'll look for some and report back if I find anything.... --RobertCouch 08:55, 5 Jul 2006 (MDT)

Yes, this does need to be toned down. Take a look now — what do you think of my edit? --MikeParker 11:10, 5 Jul 2006 (MDT)
