*So what about homosexuality? What about the anal bonding of stable relationships? Surely this is not Separation?

First, let me declare an interest. Anal intercourse – the idea – disgusts me: perhaps because I once thought I might be homosexual; perhaps because of potty training.** But is it evil?

The answer is, indeed, in Separation: in the complex relationship of physical matter and spiritual separation. This relationship is more easily observed than explained: in the deeds Men will do for worldly goods, including real estate, and in the effect of money on their minds.

Sexual gratification is*** just another worldly good: if part of the desire for it may arise from a distortion of the need for Love and inner security, the same is true of other material desires.****
