In the chapter "What’s Wrong with Sex?" you discuss the "myth of romance" created by society and media images which causes us to believe, consciously or unconsciously, that we can become whole once we find that significant other. Do you believe that romance or love between two people can actually exist or is the idea of an unspoken bond between to persons a creation of Hallmark and Disney? The enlightenment you write of should bring one free of this want and desire for fulfillment from another, does this include freedom from the desire of sex? I believe it can be agreed on the desire of sex is biological and I’m glad that you acknowledge that in the chapter, conceding that some of the desire for sex is not merely media created, but conditioned in us since creation. Finally, if one who is enlightened does not feel the need to seek fulfillment from another, would they obtain any joy from sharing a relationship with another person?
