1140. Since there is no "opposite sex", one can compete to possess, there cannot be any rivalry and thereby no "rivals". Now the objection may arise that one must be able to compete for this or that single individual whom one would particularly like to have for oneself alone. And here the answer must be that it is quite true that in the initial zone of the new sexuality, based on the as-yet very evident unbalanced state of the being's poles here, "falling in love" and "envy" occur, since a being here must live through or repeat the as-yet unfinished, primitive stages of the opposite pole, meaning that the man must live through the primitive characteristics of the woman, and the woman must live through the unfinished nature of the man before the new sexuality can be in its purest form. But where the lower nature of this opposite pole has been overcome, "falling in love", envy or jealousy will be a total impossibility, the fact of the matter being that the new form of sexuality, which seeks satisfaction through caressing areas other than the sexual organs, differs from ordinary sexuality in that, in its most perfect form, it does not create any sensation of pleasure through the "feeling of possession", but through a feeling that we can call "a feeling of relinquishing". While "ordinary sexuality" creates the feeling of pleasure exclusively through the desire to possess the reciprocated love of another particular being, and gives pleasure only through the satisfaction of this desire, the "new sexuality", when it is in its purest form or is a product of the balance of the two poles in the being, gives a feeling of pleasure only through the desire, not to possess the reciprocated love of another being, but solely through giving oneself. This pleasure thus fills the being's entire desire. When this sexuality or this desire becomes universal and fills every individual it will be easy to understand that the "desire to possess" will become superfluous and must therefore degenerate and die, and become an impossibility in the "perfect human kingdom". "Giving rather than receiving" becomes here just as universal as "receiving rather than giving" is now universal within terrestrial human society.
