You really should be asking Fido... he seems to be the authority on this.
No authority ma'am... It is obvious that too often we tend to think of our partners in life as objects, and of ourselves as tools doing something to that object... I can't say I have been entirely free of that thought myself, but how ever you touch your lover, if you do so with love, in an attempt to communicate your love, it is almost certainly better than to think of ourselves as objects, which is only a denial of pain, and because, as objects, all we can communicate is pain...
Fill all your actions with love... Fill up your entire life with love if possible... Never make objects of those you say you love... Avoid doing so with your enemies as well... When we dehumanize others we make possible our inhumanity...
