Just think if friction could not be obtained; your alternator would not charge the battery because the belt slips on the pulley. A car with a clutch would not move because the clutch slips. Friction is advantageous and desirable for some things and not for others. If we could eliminate friction, you would not need much gas to propel your car down the road. If you could not achieve friction with your lover, you would not achieve orgasm.
