Is everyone really an adult who has grown physically, has many years behind him and has civil rights? Or just a child stumbling around in adult-sized shoes and a costume? What does it mean to be an adult in our thinking, our emotions, our relationships, our sexual fantasy and in bed? Isn't it better to preserve and take on something from our childhood and adolescent world view and emotional world?

In this book, the author ponders and argues with himself about the decades between youth and old age.
