The Bristle Effect in Relationships
In male-female relationships, Xander and I are actually the reverse of what I usually see. It's usually the man who's wanting to experience physical intimacy to create that emotional intimacy. So this can be really interesting because so many women will say exactly that. But even if it feels to you like, I'm just a piece of meat, how could my partner want to have sex with me? Can you imagine instead that those might be the only times they allow themselves to be vulnerable and let down their walls and truly connect with you? That's a really different way of looking at it.
