In light of the confusion in Washington D.C. it is clear that some changes are in order as the new race for President of the United States begins. How can we to define the nature of healthy sexual relationships so as to thereby: 1. Encourage people to become involved in healthy sexual relationships, and help people to avoid becoming involved in un-healthy sexual relationships? 2. Encourage people to be open and honest about the nature of healthy sexual relationships? 3. Promote mutuality and balance within humane sexual relationships? 4. Help people to avoid coercive manipulations, imbalance of power, and addictive relationships? 5. Help people to avoid destructive arrogance, self righteousness, judgmentalism and excommunications which are related to people's imperfect sexual relationships? 6. Facilitate and promote truly healthy intimacy, vulnerability, and security among close friends and associates. 7. Elicit honesty about unhealthy preoccupations with: issues of control, failures with discipline, and other human imperfections and limitations. 8. Facilitate and promote both personal and communal integrity by working to heal the painful wounds of pretentiousness, judgmentalism and perfectionism. 9. Promote respect for humane differences which are creative, healthy, and essential for both personal and communal integrity. 10. Facilitate healthy forms of personal and communal integration by offering gifts of security and justice for people who are vulnerable and powerless. When we are preoccupied with sexuality in narrow and exclusive ways we are bound to promote personal and communal disintegration through our own arrogance and expanding sense of self-righteousness. This has been demonstrated by many religious, political and business leaders who are courting our uncritical favor and support from inside Washington D.C. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
