Often the articulations have taken the form of ineffective injunctions which have lead to disintegrative personal and communal relationships. The abundant examples of how ineffective such injunctions are, seem not to have much effect upon the people who are grimly determined to continue their efforts to control sexual relationships through such injunctions. It would appear that different kinds of articulations would be worth trying. It might help for people who have experimented with various ways to become involved in intimate relationships which involve sexual responses---to describe what their experiences have been: under what conditions they experienced the wide variety of sexual experiences, and what they regarded as the determinative factors in leading them to have their experiences. Such descriptions will, of course, be reflexive descriptions---not objective descriptions. They cannot be scientific in the narrow sense. They can be open and honest, if the prerequisite of true security is met in the sense that the context offers the freedom to be safely vulnerable in healthy experimentation and reporting.
