Loving ourselves sufficiently makes us less desperate to be loved by another. Most importantly, loving ourselves stops us from confusing our desire to love someone with our desire to screw someone.
Sex and Love should be consider two separate and distinct issues. You can have a very strong 'urge to merge' with someone but that doesn't mean you love them. The worst mistake we make is confusing sex with love. Sex gets us interested in someone but it is love that sustains that interest. A relationship based on sexual attraction rarely lasts whereas a relationship based on being each other's best friend last forever...
