We cannot be open and honest about our personal sexual experiences when we choose to maintain our collusive games of mutual self deception. When we cannot be open and honest we can not enjoy authentic sexual experiences, and we can not converse about the inadequacies of our actual sexual experiences---and so cannot transcend those inadequacies. Honest conversation about personal sexual experiences would expose the taboos which help to maintain our collusions. Honest conversation about the taboos and collusions are taboo in order to protect the taboos and collusions from careful examination in the light of the disintegrative consequences of the taboos and collusions. We cannot be honest with ourselves about our sexual experiences if we are not free to be open and honest with others about our personal sexual experiences. We choose to repress the consciousness of our lack of integrity into our subconsciousness, rather than try to deal with the lack of integrity between our own subconsciousness and our conversations. In our subconsciousness the lack of integrity does violence to our souls and leads us to act violently. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
