It  is often difficult to discern how many different kinds
and  levels  of intimacy any particular person or  persons
are  able  to  sustain with integrity and in good  health.
The  difficulties in such discernment are increased to the
extent that members  of the communities are  engage in the
following kinds of Alienative-Behaviors:

 1.  Presuming that any intimacy of any kind automatically
reveals that there are other kinds and levels of  intimacy
---  which are associated  with the known/presumed kind of
intimacy.

 2.  Presuming   that   in  the  absence  of   permission,
commands,   and/or  obligations ---  no kind or  level  of
intimacy is proper/appropriate.

 3.  Presuming that each kind and level of intimacy  needs
to  be controlled by some authority and/or authorities who
know what will be best for all who may be affected.

 4.  Fearing  that True-Lovers who are engaged in any kind
of  or level of intimacy will threaten the integrities  of
Loyal-Domineering-People  who  are  being   Faithful-to-A-
Domination-System of any some kind/level of Concentration-
of-Wealth-and-Powers.

 5.  Fearing  that True-Lovers who are engaged in any kind
of  or level of intimacy will threaten the integrities  of
Participants in  Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception;
who  cannot know or be aware of the rules of their  games,
because the rules are secret and tacit.

 6.  Keeping  young  people  unaware of the  diversity  of
risks  present  in  getting involved  in  intimacies  with
people whom they do not know well through slowly  evolving
friendships and courtships --- which reveal to each  other
any inclinations they have toward:  domination,  violence,
addictions,  dishonesty,  arrogance,  pretensions,  greed,
etc.

 7.  Keeping  young  people ignorant about the  stages  of
intimacies  which move into sexual intimacies  prematurely
and  toward tragically uninformed taking of the risks  which
are inherent within sexual intimacies.

     Be-Together in the Many-Gracious ways of Shalom.
