Among those risks are the following: 1. Sharing which occurs prematurely may lead into an untimely/imprudent sexual involvement. 2. Sharing may violate the hidden/conventional rules of "The Domination System" which presumes to be in control of all intimate/sexual relationships --- in order to promote and maintain the essential collusive games of mutual self deception upon which "The Domination System" depends. 3. Sharing may embarrass and/or threaten those with whom the sharing occurs --- and/or those others who become aware of the sharing. 4. Sharing intimate knowledge may not be regarded as protected communication under constitutional rights of speech, press, assembly, petition, religion, privacy and redress of grievances. 5. Sharing may not occur within a true sanctuary within which people may know true security in being safely vulnerable within intimate/sexual relationships which are: prudent, wise, balanced, open, honest, authentic, graceful, generous and integrative --- in the best senses. 6. Sharing may undermine people's needs for the affirmations of "The Domination System", and so make people less likely to be compliant towards "The Domination System" --- to the destructive dismay of domineering people. 7. Sharing forbidden truths may be in violation of the unwritten rules of "The Domination System" --- leading to the imposition of unwritten punishments such as exclusion, condemnation and excommunication --- for unspecified violations of conformity laws. 8. The sharing of intimate knowledge may cross over and/or blur boundaries of: race, religion, education, wealth, politics, gender, and power --- and so lead to severe punishment by those in charge of protecting the "integrity" of those sacred boundaries. 9. Acknowledging that eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was forbidden because such knowledge leads to exclusive behaviors which are alienative --- domineering, arrogant, self-righteous and unbalanced. Such an acknowlegement is forbidden by "The Domination System" --- because it will undermine its collusive control system. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
