As a result, I am no longer locked into The Addicted Lover "shadow" form of the feminine Lover archetype in my psyche that I had been locked into for at least the last 50 years of my life.

(Up to about the age of 30, I had been mainlining The Impotent lover "shadow" form of the feminine Lover archetype in my psyche. But in 1974, I definitively switch to mainlining The Addicted Lover "shadow" form of the feminine Lover archetype in my psyche. Suffice it say here that the story of how I definitively switched from one "shadow" form of the feminine Lover archetype in my psyche to the other "shadow" form of the feminine Lover in my psyche in 1974 would be too long -- and too personal -- for me to recount here in detail.)

Consequently, as a result of now no longer being compulsively locked into The Addicted Lover "shadow" form of the feminine Lover archetype in my psyche, I can now freely switch back to The Addicted Lover "shadow" form of the feminine Lover archetype in my psyche when I want to enjoy the pleasures of The Addicted Lover "shadow" form of the feminine Lover archetype in my psyche when I want to - as, for example, when I watch my favorite pornstar perform in the new 2024 DVD of her that I like to watch of the big-screen television in the living room of my home. Her characteristically energetic performance in it is stellar, amazing, awe-inspiring. Yes, my favorite pornstar simply excels at having sex - and at looking beautiful as she has sex in her 2024 video.

Yes, just as young Lynda Carter has a gloriously beautiful body in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume, so too my favorite pornstar also has a gloriously beautiful athletic and well-toned body as she performs energetically not only in her new 2024 porn video but also as she performs in her many, many other porn videos. She has been prolific over the years in making porn videos.

Yes, I have long been infatuated with my favorite pornstar's gloriously beautiful and well-toned athletic body. (I do not want to disclose her name here.)

Yes, I am one of my favorite pornstar's many, many fans - just as I am a fan of Lynda Carter - and just like I am an Ong fan.

Each time we become a fan of one certain person, we are infatuated with that one certain person. However, to some others, our infatuation with that one certain person may seem like an obsession with that one certain person.

Nevertheless, I should here also candidly admit that, alas, I am still mainlining The Impotent Lover "shadow" form of the masculine Lover archetype in my psyche.

Now, when boys and men of all ages watch the DVD version of the 1970s Wonder Woman television series, they may become infatuated with young Lynda Carter's gloriously beautiful body in her wonderful revealing Wonder Woman costume - as I did.

If they do, good for them!

However, it does not necessarily follow that boys and men who become infatuated with young Lynda Carter's gloriously beautiful body in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume, as I did, will also experience her image on the screen as evoking the one optimal and positive form of the feminine Lover archetype in their psyches, as I did.

No, they may experience her image on the screen as evoking The Addicted Lover "shadow" form of the feminine Lover archetype in their psyches.

Similarly, boys and men who watch women having sex with men in porn videos may experience the image of each woman on the screen as evoking The Addicted Lover "shadow" form of the feminine Lover archetype in their psyches, because those boys and men are mainlining The Addicted Lover "shadow" form of the feminine Lover archetype in their psyches - and they are not yet ready to learn how to access the one optimal form of the feminine Lover archetype in their psyches.

As I say, Robert Moore's thought about optimal human psychological development is a vision for all of us to keep in mind as we reflect on our own individual personal development.

Ah, but can other men and boys today also view the DVD version of the 1970s Wonder Woman television series and become infatuated, as I did, with the spectacularly beautiful body of young Lynda Carter in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume? I would imagine that men and boys today could also become infatuated with her body, as I did.

Ah, but would men and boys today who do indeed become infatuated with young Lynda Carter's spectacularly beautiful body in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume also thereby find themselves freed from being locked into mainlining The Addicted Lover form of the feminine Lover archetype in their psyches? I do not see why this could not also happen to them, as it happened to me.
