I love when fandom explodes. Makes for the funnest internet sessions ever. ;D
I'm really not offended by the giving-in-to-your-sexual-desires-ends-in-soulessness aspect... because it's not ever said in sneaky preachy way
Well that is good. As I've said, I haven't actually read much Goodkind, and what little I did read, I quickly decided wasn't really my thing. But I'm glad there's no judging there, and I do recognize that the confessor thing is a useful plot point to keep Richard and Kahlan apart to build the tension before, as you say, the big pay off. But useful plot or not, it's still a little tired that sex has to be the medium for Kahlan's problem. I keep expecting Joss to jump out of the writer's room or something, going "HA HA! SEX IS BAD!" ;D
