Cross-Sex Friendship Quote of the Week

  • “It is possible to learn the skills of enjoying the opposite sex without zooming in on erotic interaction and to take delight in the distinctive beauty of others without wanting to consume or possess it [them]. In popular culture there often is an over-emphasis on erotic sexuality at the expense or neglect of the whole dimension of gender sexuality. This is true for both single and married individuals. God is the ultimate father and we are all brothers and sisters, enjoying each other in His sexual world.” Rosenau, E. Douglas and Sytsma, R. Michael.
