It is often assumed that in the presence of particular sexual stimuli healthy males will be driven and led by physiological reactions which are regarded as beyond thoughtful control. It is thus taken for granted that the responsibility lies in those who present the sexual stimuli, and not in the healthy males who respond to the sexual stimuli. In a community in which many aspects of sexuality are not open to thoughtful/integrative discussion, conversation, dialogue and analysis---it is not possible to consider the disintegrative aspects of thoughtless macho reactions to many sexual stimuli; for to do so is taboo under the rules of the collusive games of mutual self deception which characterize the community. This is especially the case if the community is dominated by compulsive objectivity and scientific analysis which make it taboo to engage in fully reflexive considerations of the behaviors of the most respected scholars in the community. The disintegrative aspects of scholarly work are not open for reflexive consideration, discussion, dialogue or conversations---for they might lead to conversions which would violate the collusions which are dominant.
