There has often been comparisons between flying and sex; "In those days when flying was dangerous and sex was safe....but both were fun."; Female gender names given to to airplanes etc...
Not without a reason, I guess.
And indeed, I had an instructor who once told me that to get an education in order to get a flying job was like getting a degree in sexology in order to make love to the girl friend.
(Sorry flying ladies, I am talking about a time when The Rolling Stones were still looking human, a time, I am sure, none of you never knew).
