have a strong belief to fall back on when surrounded by
feelings of guilt. In a sense, we will strip away within
our minds, those ideas which cause us guilt, and replace
them with the concepts of the Erosian Code of Conduct, a
belief parallel to standard practice thinking on
sexuality.
Another factor, and one of the parents of contempt for our
type of sexuality, is the preditory factor. This is the
factor that causes women to see men as animals, and causes
alternate lifestyle sexuality (see Code of Practice) to be
deemed in our society as sick. The man who is constantly
‘coming on’ to women, overtly trying for sexual
gratification, is seen for what he is; an abusive, using
chauvinistic male who has only his own interests at heart.
At the same time the person who molests children or
helpless adults, or the person who forces his sexuality on
another creates that image that says “We as normal adults
will not perform the type of acts that someone as deviant
as that man did”. This convicts the act, and not the
attitude or atmosphere it was performed under.
Obviously this sounds well and good to you. You say to
yourself, ” I’m not a sicko. I may have my own interests,
but I don’t rape people or molest kids.” And you’re right,
but you may be guilty of forced sexuality. I can remember
the first time I went into an adult bookstore. It was one
of those with the booth films in the back, and not knowing
better, I went in, sat down, and dropped a quarter in the
slot. Seconds later, someone entered the other booth next
to the one I was in and reached through the hole (cut
between the two) and attempted to fondle me. Now, whether
I was desiring of that action or not, someone was
attempting to push their sexuality on me. But I understood
the atmosphere of the place, and said in a clear voice,
“NO, I’m not interested.” Now, had the action stopped at
this point, everything would have been okay, but the guy
took no heed of my request, and the hand returned. Sadly
enough, I had to make my point strongly.
Now, the above example should teach you two things about
Erosian Theory. First – We do not encourage sexual
activity in any way where one person involved feels
uncomfortable or expresses a lack of interest in the
activity. No means No ! Second – It is extremely
dangerous, and only harmful to Erosian Theory & Practice
to goad, coerce, irriate, and attempt unsuccessfully
frequently to gain a sexual liason with an unwilling
partner.
Communications is essential for Erosian Theory and
Practice to work. Without it, we are stranded within
ourselves, and we lose the sounding board of the Erosian
Community. Never feel guilt concerning your lifestyle, and
respect others and help to remove any guilt from theirs.
