                      %OBJECTIVITY ABOUT SUBCULTURE 781228

     Within  scientific subculture there is a tendency  to
associative  "lacking  bias"   with objectivity.    To  be
objective  is  the  way  to  be  sure,   to  avoid  error.
Objectivity  presumes an effective separation between  the
knower and that which is known,  between the condition  of
that  which  is known and the amount which is known  about
that  which  is known.   The "object"  which is  known  is
different  than the "subject",  the person,  who know  the
"object".   The "object"  is not changed by the  "subject"
learning about the "object".

     The  absence of bias in objectivity is built upon the
"subject"  not having any verbal interest in the condition
of  the  "object".   The "subject"  is indifferent to  the
condition of the "object", for to care about the condition
of  the  "object"  would prejudice the perception  of  the
"object"  by the "subject".   The "subject"  must not want
the  "object"   to  be one way rather  than  another  way,
otherwise the perceptions of the "subject"  may be wishful
rather  than  objective.    Thus indifference  toward  the
"object" is essential.

     Sexual behavior involves subjects in relationships in
which  the  distinction between subjects and  objects  are
thoroughly blurred.   In self-stimulation the subject acts
upon  an  object  which is one with the  subject  and  the
sensation of the subject are the responses of the  object.
The  nature of the response or of the object depends  upon
the  subject's  sense of satisfaction or guilt.   What  is
real  depends upon what the subject wants to be real,   or
fears may be real.

     The  distinction  between subject and object  becomes
even  more confused when two or more people relate to each
other  sexually.   "Objective reality"  then depends  upon
second,    third,    and  even   fourth-order   reciprocal
anticipations,  expectations,  perceptions,  desires,  and
fears---on  the part of the subjects who through  approach
create their realities,  but do not have full control over
them nor independence from them.  It is thus impossible to
understand   sexual  relationships  objectively,   because
objectivity  blocks  perception  of essential  aspects  of
sexual   relationships,   and  personal  involvement   and
participation   undermines   the  conditions   which   are
essential to objectivity.
