Deep dives

Fearful Avoidant Attachment Style and its Relationship to Sex

Fearful avoidant individuals often have the highest number of sexual partners and tend to be sexually compliant, engaging in sex even when they may not feel it's right. This behavior can stem from poor boundaries developed in childhood due to emotional, mental, or physical invasion trauma, leading to a disregard for personal boundaries. Additionally, the deep need for connection in fearful avoidants may drive them to use sex as a way to create intimacy while avoiding emotional vulnerability.
