They may have a good point in that many human sexual relationships are lacking in reflexive maturity, balance, honesty, mutuality and stability---while striving for physical sexual achievements. They are misguided in their attempt to correct for that lack of focus upon reflexive realities, by focusing more attention upon the physical aspects of the dysfunctional relationships which are dysfunctional, because of the neglect of the reflexive aspects of healthy human relationships. The helpful corrective for a lack of focus upon reflexive aspects of healthy human relationships is to focus attention upon the reflexive aspects of healthy human relationships in a positive way. Legalists often respond to an excessive focus upon the physical aspects of unhealthy human relationships by focusing additional attention upon the physical aspects of unhealthy human relationships---and so make matters worse. The flax will not turn to gold so long as the attention is upon not thinking about the flax turning to gold. The focus of attention must be shifted to the reflexive aspects of healthy human intimacy---aspects which addicts and their codependent supporters cannot control through collusive games of mutual self deception, and so which do not draw their interest.
