IT'S HOW WE SEEK IT THAT MATTERS MOST -
"Have we ever
sought to satisfy
our sexual impuls-
es at the expense of
others?" "Have we ever
forced or manipulated any-
one to have sexual con-
tact with us?" "Have we
ever pursued sex in
ways that damaged
our self-esteem?"
(Overeaters
Anon., p.
40)
SEX ANNIHILATION IS NOT THE ANSWER -
"Yet, as with other
addictions and com-
pulsions, the costs are
great. In this case, sex be-
comes a furtive enemy to
be continually kept at bay,
even at the price of an-
nihilating a part of
one self." (Sexual
Anorexia, p. 1)
"Well, you're ei-
ther lovers or you're
wanting to be lovers or
you're trying not to be lov-
ers so you can be friends,
but any way you look at
it, sex is always loom-
ing in the picture like
a shadow, like an
undertow."
