The article talks about the gender role between men and women role during intimacy and how affectionate they can become. Some men loves attention and so does women too. On the other hand, although they both love this attention, they need to give each other breathing space so that they can bond deeper with each other to not finding flaws of a relationship.

Sammy knew this, but didn’t mind too much because of his infatuation with the change in norm. These girls were different and stood out. Mr. Lengel did not like this and decided that he was going to do something about it. Throughout Mr. Lengel’s interaction with the girls, he says, “This isn’t the beach,” on multiple occasions in order to create an emphasis on his main point. Due to this repetitiveness, it is discovered that Mr. Lengel is most likely a firm boss that appreciates when things are done properly.
Women are expected to put on a motherly overtone while working; they are required to laugh at the jokes of the customers and are expected to go above and beyond their traditional expectations.
