Nowadays I have begun to reject the sex-movement. And yet I can see clearly that some part of the vital takes interest in women – either in an explicit or in an implicit way. How else could this movement be explained, for, though I was not off my guard I still could not keep myself detached from the attraction of R? Or was it possible that her vital too enjoyed the attraction?

Even without any response on her part it is possible. It is evident that part of your vital does not care at all for your mind’s refusal – it goes on replying to the sexual suggestions.
