"Being consumed is the closest one person can be to another. You literally become a part of them. [...] Anhedönia stated that, before she ever knew about sex, each time she had a crush, she wanted to “open (herself) up and pull someone into (her) and devour them.” [...] It’s the darker side of love and sex that nobody wants to acknowledge but that everybody knows is there, lurking in us all. [...] It isn’t about a love that sets boundaries, but the desire for all-consuming passion that none of us can ever truly escape. For Anhedönia, escape is boring. Love isn’t real “if I don’t want to eat you.”"
