Integrity pertains to wholeness, integration, unity, interconnectedness, reliable communication among related parts. Thus integrity is not possible without honesty. Violence and attempts to control people undermine their willingness to be honest. Presumptions of ownership and superiority promote tendencies to use and control others. Such presumptions thus undermine honesty and the integrity of people and communities. Integrity entails mutuality and reciprocity which are free from violence. Mutuality and reciprocity in violence undermine integrity. An agreement to engage in a violent fight with mutual hatred---does not promote integrity, even if the agreement is mutual. Sexual integrity is promoted by sexual honesty which is free of violence and attempts to control. Sexual integrity is promoted by mutuality and reciprocity in interest and desire. People and communities that enjoy sexual integrity are free to share their sexual desires, fantasies and fears; but are not under compulsion of any kind to do so. They are free to choose among their alternatives in honesty, not compelled to make certain choices which are regarded as correct and proper. Sexual honesty which does not promote personal and communal integrity is not worthy of respect. Thus sexual honesty which entails violence and attempts to control people is not worthy of respect. Sexual honesty which is worthy of respect promotes both personal and communal integrity through integrative mutuality and reciprocity. Sexual integrity and honesty are not achieved through conformity to any set of rules, laws or traditions designed to control human behavior. Such devices tend to do violence to the unique character of individual persons and their inter personal relationships. No such set of rules, laws or traditions can serve as the basis for promoting unity, integrity, among growing unique persons and their intimate relationships. Judgments based upon such a set of prescriptions are bound to promote alienation and estrangement; not personal and communal integrity and honesty. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
