What I think is a lot more scary than talking about sex is talking about those deepest human fears which often arise in romantic and sexual relationships, among them: 1. The fear that other people don’t want what we want, won’t understand what we want, won’t be able to give us what we want, will think we’re weird for wanting it, won’t want us. 2. The fear that we won’t be made happy, that we can’t make other people happy, that we don’t understand happiness or pleasure, that it will forever elude us, or that we will lose it and never have it again. 3. The fear that we are alone, that we cannot really connect with another person, that we are unknown, misunderstood, or misinterpreted, that we do not have a place in the world.
