I believe that there are four distinct components that comprise our sexuality. The four components are the mental, physical, spiritual and emotional dimensions of our being. To me, these four parts combine to form the unique individual that we're designed to be. Like I said above. Some men are strictly physical, but some, like me need more. In a relationship our sexuality is not just limited to the physical. We're all sexual beings, wheter we have sex or not. We were sexual the day we were conceived. I think by definition, our sexuality is not what we do. Even people who are committed to celibacy are sexual beings. Our sexuality is who we are and we're made with a body, mind, heart and spirit. Therefore sexual integrity is not just about physical chastity. It's about purity in all four aspects of our being. When all four aspects line up perfectly, it reflects balance and integrity. I mentioned men are visual, but for some, like myself we want more, but I still believe the visual in men are in the drivers seat. The rest rides in the back seat.
