"Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret"

- Aphra Behn

About this Quote

This quote by Aphra Behn talks to the concept that love is best when it is maintained a trick. When love is kept a secret, it is a pleasure because it is something unique as well as one-of-a-kind that is shared in between 2 people. When love is no longer a trick, it can become mundane and shed its specialness. Maintaining love a key can add a component of enjoyment and enigma to the relationship, which can make it extra pleasurable. When love is no more a secret, it can end up being more of a concern than an enjoyment. It can end up being a source of tension and anxiety, as the couple might feel the requirement to frequently verify their love to the world. Keeping love a key can help to maintain the pleasure of the connection, as it allows the couple to keep their relationship special as well as one-of-a-kind.
