#010 - Bottom Lines & 3 Circles

In this episode we have a lively debate about bottom lines and the inner, middle and outer circles (3 circles) - which is often used when we need to define what abstinence means for us. We discuss bottom lines in Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA). We share some different mental models on how to define bottom lines, where the boundary between middle and inner circle lies, and the importance of understanding your intent and your own boundaries in expressing healthy sexuality. We wrap up with the outer circle - is it a hedonistic bucket list or a things that are good for us?
