Consumption is not necessarily bad. All things are made other through transformation and this is all the consumptive process is.

You have to understand this to know that I am not criticizing when I speak of the interconsumptivity of love.

I am saying that the lovers create a system in which they consume of each other: feeling, sensation, energy, knowledges, interests, lifeways– they become mixed up into each other and begin to depend on one another.
