Such people come to have a sense of responsibility to be in control of all sexual behavior. Control of non-objective realities and relationships is virtually impossible. Control of some aspects of objects and objective relationships is sometimes possible. To appear to be in control of all sexual behavior, people often seek to reduce sexual relationships to objective relationships between sexual objects. To gain control of sexual relationships people seek to identify and/or define which objects and relationships are sexual in character, in order to be able to know which objects and relationships need to be controlled, and which need not be controlled as part of the program of sexual control. The program of objectification of sexual relationships naturally leads to sexual alienation and misunderstanding; and so to unhealthy sexual relationships which are out of control, and can not be controlled because they are sinful; i.e. full of misunderstanding and alienation. Sexuality pertains to conception, birth and the beginnings of a new life, and so to death and finitude which can not be controlled. Finite creatures can not be in control of their finitude as the way to transcend it and be saved from finitude. Finitude can not be transcended through proper control of finite behavior. Pretending to have transcended sexuality through its objectification is but a dishonest confirmation of one's finitude and one's being ill at ease as an addict. Addicts seek salvation through the denial of their own finitude, mistakes, weaknesses, failures, etc. They seek to be in control when control is impossible, and so demonstrate their own finitude to all who can see clearly and honestly. Salvation does not come through proper behavior of any form in keeping with any formula. It comes to those who accept the truth about themselves and live with each other with integrity in open and honest relationships with transcend human control. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
