     It  is  not  an  easy thing to steer  a  safe  course                                                            
between the repression of sexual desires and interests ---
on the one hand ---  and imprudent surrender to all sexual
desires and interests.   Extremists often pretend it is an          
easy thing to do;  "Just say no." or "Anything goes."               
                                                                                                                               
     On the one hand,  some legalists are pre-disposed  to                                                                     
draw upon scripts, rules,  regulations, commandments, pro-                                                                     
scriptions,  pre-scriptions  and  scriptures ---   as  the                                                                     
reliable guides for faith and life;  and to distrust Love.                                           
They  are prone to promote the fear of sexual desires  and
sexual consummations.
                                                                                                                               
     On the other hand,  there are some people who believe             
that God is Love may think that Love is God and  translate                                           
that  into  Sex is God.    They may promote  the  fear  of
prudent guidance and advice.                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                               
     Extremists of all kinds are prone to promote the fear                                                                     
of   open  and  honest  descriptions  of  the  complicated                                                                  
consequences  of  going  to  unbalanced  extremes ---   in                                                                     
considering  human    instincts,    desires,    pleasures,          
sexuality, togetherness  and  Love.     Extremists of  all
kinds  are  prone to  play collusive games of mutual  self                            
deception   according  to  which  life  is  simple,    and 
alienation a natural state ---  about which there needs to   
be little concern.   It matters little to  them  that with                               
modern weapons  ---  alienation can readily lead to global                                        
war and to total human disintegration.
