[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 2361570, member: 5143"] As an aside, I've always defined it as treating someone as an object. For instance, you understand that a pen is for writing and you are more than willing to pick it up and use it to do so whenever you want because it doesn't have feelings or desires. If you need to write something, you find the nearest pen and use it to write. A similar thing with people. If you objectify them, you don't care about THEM as a person, you could care less about their feelings or desires. If you need sex, you find the nearest woman that you are willing to tolerate and use them to have sex. Obviously, they have to at least somewhat agree. However, since, in my experience, people with low self esteem are good at fooling themselves into believing they are in love with people in order to get around their own morals. This is off topic slightly, but I'd like to say that in my (limited) experience that women who have low self esteem and feel bad with their own self image turn to sex as a form of making themselves feel needed. If a man wants them, it makes them feel special. I assume it works the same with low self esteem men, although I don't have experience with that. So far my experience is with a couple of women who felt they should wait until marriage to have sex, or at least for someone they really, really loved. Then, things happened in their life to make them depressed, and then they tried to commit suicide, then after they "recovered", they felt that sex should be with as many people as possible. It may be that since I've managed to have...a couple of these experiences that it may be colouring my view. [/QUOTE]
