સાથે-સાથે તે જણાવતા કહે છે કે, “હું ઘણું બધું કરવા માંગતી હતી. હું ફરવા માટે ગ્રીસ ગઈ, જ્યાં મેં સ્વિમિંગ શરૂ કર્યું, મને અનુભવાયું કે મને પાણીમાં રહેવું સારું લાગી રહ્યું છે. હું મિત્રો સાથે હસતી અને પૂરો સમય આપતી હતી. હું દરેક રીતે ખુશ હતી અને પોતાને આઝાદ અનુભવતી હતી.’ સોફીનું કહેવું છે કે જ્યારે તમે પોતાની બોરિંગ સેક્સ લાઈફ પર ફોક્સ કરવાનું બંધ કરો તો હકીકતમાં તમારી આંખો ખુલી જાય છે. તમે અન્ય લોકો અંગે જાણવા માંગો છે અને પ્રેમ ઉપરાંત જીવનની અન્ય બાબતો પર વાત કરવા ઈચ્છો છો.”

Sex should be a choice, not a necessity. ”
