Social work, as a profession, survives by reflecting community values. Because community values seldom recognize the basic needs reflected in short-term relationships, social workers may desire to correct this value imbalance. A defense of the short-term relationship is presented, as well as a comment on its human potential in certain situations.

From a study of the ideas and experiences of 100 sexual radicals, an ideal-typical version of the popular notion of love is presented. Additionally, four basic modes of entertaining or responding to that dominant notion are set out. In this way the respondents are seen as struggling to combine a highly critical sexual ideology with a much more conservative socialization for intimacy.
