Sexual desire, by definition, wants

something: the satisfaction of desire by

the possession of the other. To a large

extent this is a mental projection,

provoked by a certain emotion. We

imagine the other in our possession. At

the moment of desire everything seems

agreeable and desirable. One sees no

obstacle to it, no reason for restraint.

The object desired seems to have no

defects, to be worthy of all praise. But

then everything changes with

possession. Once the desire disappears

- whether it considers itself satisfied,

or time passes and weakens it – we no

longer look at the other in the same

way. Some people admit they are

stunned by this. Each one discovers the

true nature of the other. That is why

there are so many broken marriages,

quarrels, lawsuits, or much hatred.
