Erotic love is not aimless pleasure seeking, it’s… a longing, for connection, for recognition, for wholeness. To traverse the lonely void that separates us from each other, to liberate repressed energy, to feel alive. Love is not ‘the flesh’, it’s not 'temptation’, it’s nothing like the urge to punch someone in the face, it’s nothing like being an alcoholic, it’s not a craving, it’s… a yearning. 'The desire for reunion with our other half’ - Aristophanes.
