Good article, Steve. I first read of Sebastian Moore in a text book that I had for a course call Sexual Dysfunction. The text was by David Schnarch, “Constructing the Sexual Crucible: An Integration of Sexual and Marital Therapy”. The last chapter on sexuality and spirituality is where Moore is referenced and Schnarch uses the quote you included in your article. Another from Moore: “Who really wants to feel like Jesus?” To this Schnarch give this exposition: “Who really wants intense eroticism and intimacy? Who really wants to love?” And he concludes the chapter thus: “Loving is not for the weak. One must be strong enough to love unilaterally. This is the final requisite for reaching one’s sexual potential. May we all develop the strength to love well.”

Thank you Sam for a wonderful response to my stuttering article. May we all grow the strength to love well indeed!
