I'd say the theory is false.

I'm a sex addict, in a funny way; any male friend of me knows that.

And yet I make friends with girls and often just want to be friends; no sex. I love the good feeling in the body that comes from a simple discussion. A fun discussion, or a deep intellectual one, or a spiritual one, or anything where there is an analysis of the minutiae of detail and the exchange of ideas. Same with guys - it's mutual bonding.

Some of the details with which you derive the theory might seem true, but in effect, they are pointless to focus on.

Rockchick, I already knew that through better understanding, we can better deal with a situation. This is not one of those cases. This is like analyzing the function of an earthworm to better feed hungry kids in Africa. It might have some effect, but it's not important to focus on. In a similar fashion that, when the fight-or-flight response is kicked off, nonessential functions like digestion are stopped, when dealing with this kind of stuff, non-essential thoughts will hamper whatever you are trying to achieve, rather than incrasing your understanding of the situation.

My position is something like what freelancer said, it's in the subcommunication and the energy. How do we know? Well, RSD turned us on, but basically experience. I believe that truth and understanding is important, but even if what you were saying is true, it is unimportant to focus on.
