Neocon,
1) How do you have any idea what he is remorseful for or how much? He doesn't owe these things to me, but to his conscious. This is an accusation with neither merit nor provability.
2) Sexual sensation and Infidelity are separated by Americans everyday - you have heard that masturbation continues even after marriage. There are many who extend the separation of sexual pleasure and fidelity even further. No, the core issues to fidelity and adultery are marriage-trust and intercourse. The rest is a sliding scale.
The issue is not whether he committed adultery, or was untrue, but whether the actions I describe as sexual play were useful in moderating his more pathological sexual behaviors. The evidence is pretty clear this device worked.
3) I suspect this point will yield me a draw in the finals, rather than the win I'd genuinely expected. I don't much care fore the presentation of the point, he said condescendingly. Someone should pursue this idea.
4) I had in mind the reprint Darrell has posted under "Hey Ignorant" about this time. Many are detailed.
5) < "has he behaved according to the standards that are reasonable to expect from an adult in his position?", I have to say no, and that he lacks character, or even ordinary discretion. >
If you substitute your word reasonable, for the word normal, you get my assertion. In this area he is not within any middle of the normal curve. He is not normally reasonable. I put him far off on this curve of sexual impulses from factors not of his own doing, or very little. In dealing with his odd position, he has done remarkablly well, given the evidence of reforming sex criminals. That is my basis for acknowledging character, not the genuinely evil behaviors he has, and, reasonably said, still commits. |
