>Kierkegaard was definitely not without fault, for though cristianity the anxiety of death, it has not provided adequate treatment for sexual impulses. This expresses itself in Kierkegaard in a basic primal fetish. He announces it on a letter to his friend E. Boesen, concerning a Spanish woman: "For her feet belongs to that kind of delicate white feather, hand drawn by god himself. One can not, and should not repress himself at such sight. It's unchristian to do so. For God is beauty and beauty is truth and not recognizing beauty is not recognizing truth, thus it's the same as rejecting God. A man must give all of himself to worship it. He must approach it with delicacy and not be so eager to finish the work. He must be careful. But at one such point, beauty overthrows reason and he must undress the feet immediately. He must bury himself within the continents, the undiscovered countries, that lay between toes. He must smell it and drown in her feet scents. He must tickle it and watch the appropriate crimson red expression in her face. He must go mad in the delicacies and mathematicalities of the carefully sculpted lines and gently protuding green veins that innundates the white plain like immaculate rivers. She must play accordingly, and happyfully do her part, oh lucky man! She must do her part and come forth upon him and give him the final blow: a round of face stepping, for he is a sinner, a beast, an unworthy man, and should be punished to death by feet asfixiation!". Later, Kierkegaard shows typical christian shame and regret:"To masturbate is to enter in degeneracy. It's a sinful, wretched act and the saint dotcrine states that he who may commit such acts shall not enter upon heaven. I shall not enter upon heaven."
