In line with the theme of abstinence in Tenet #9, we should strive to foster a world where people can remain in active and beneficial friendships despite sexual interest. Most people exhibit some form of sexual attraction to one group of people, and it is natural to want to seek attention and sexual fulfillment from people that we find attractive. That said, refusing to see members of groups that we are attracted to as anything but objects who can fulfill our sexual fantasies not only insults and degrades those people, but also traps us in a state of sexual obsession that prevents us from being able to benefit from a diverse range of platonic relationships (which is in line with Tenet #2 and #8). Instead, I believe that people, particularly men, should make active efforts to form healthy relationships with people where it is established from the onset that no expectation of sexual activity will be performed or desired. For example, heterosexual men should perhaps become friends with women that they recognize as attractive, but do so in a way that controls their sexual urges and respects these women as human beings with their own feelings, hopes, and dreams (and not just sex desires). A world in which people, especially heterosexual men, can interact with people they are otherwise attracted to is one that is better prepared and positioned to establish better love and justice.
