Hidden Dimensions Illustrates Sane Sex Beautifully

I recently read Debra Drecksel’s new novel, Hidden Dimensions. It’s a story about a woman’s journey to discover her true self and purpose in life and along the way, finds not only those things, but love as well. What I really appreciate about Debra’s book is that it gives a perfect demonstration of superficial sex, why it doesn’t work, and why sane sex is a much more satisfying, rewarding choice.

At one point in the story, Monica, the main character, searches for love and connection by having a string of one night stands. Rather than feeling close to anyone, she instead begins to lose sight of herself. She’s doing what many people do in real life: following today’s dating model over and over, expecting to find emotional intimacy at some point. This behavior fits the classic definition of insanity, doing the same thing repeatedly expecting a different outcome. Being an intelligent woman, she soon concludes that this approach will not bring her the meaningful relationship she longs for. Monica learns that putting emotional intimacy ahead of physical intimacy, as presented in the sane sex model, nurtures her body and soul and ultimately leads to love.

I didn’t know the author before she wrote this novel, and I know she had no idea what the term “sane sex” meant as she was writing. Nonetheless, I couldn’t have written a clearer illustration of how and why sane sex works than Debra’s work provides. Thanks Debra!
