“When you are secure in yourself, know what turns you on, and enjoy watching your partner watch you experience sexual pleasure, you have a highly novel relationship grounded in love. The experience of seeing and being seen fuels lust and desire. This is exactly the way you integrate healthy lust and love into your sex life. It’s relational sex, not the old pornographic sex of past addictions.” LoveDesireSexAddictionLustPornography Book:Erotic Intelligence: Igniting Hot, Healthy Sex While in Recovery from Sex Addiction Source: Erotic Intelligence: Igniting Hot, Healthy Sex While in Recovery from Sex Addiction
“Intensity-seeking is an enslavement of our own perpetuation. When we step out of the delirium of always seeking someone new, and meet the same old sad and lonely child within, our healing journey begins. Exhausting ourselves with novelty is a defense against our deepest pain, one that we cannot outrun. But once we stop and feel our losses, we can begin our healing journey and be the authentic, joyous person we were born to be.” AddictionDefenseIntensityNoveltyHealing JourneyInner ChildEnslavementSex AddictionChild WithinIntensity SeekingCompulsivityDeepest Pain Book:Mirror of Intimacy: Daily Reflections on Emotional and Erotic Intelligence Source: Mirror of Intimacy: Daily Reflections on Emotional and Erotic Intelligence
