| Fear of Intimacy & Sex
Posted: 3/11/2007 8:40:42 PM | good question...
not that I have much to add to the conversation, but I do agree that they are two completely separate entities, yet not mutually exclusive.
I personally think that the fear of sex is a much easier hurdle to get over than the fear of intimacy. Because letting a person in to see (as hoakey as it sounds) - your soul, the essence of you can be a terrifying thing, yet sex can just be boiled down to just sex and you can remain unaffected by the whole physical thing. But once someone breaks down that intimacy barrier, there isn't anything hiding you. | |

| Fear of Intimacy & Sex
Posted: 6/18/2007 1:30:58 PM | Intimacy is a deep sharing of emotions with another person. This could be with a friend, a boss, a therapist, a priest, a relative, a pet, a child, etc. It has little to do with sex.
When a couple becomes intimate, and that intimacy deepens to a point where they begin a romantic relationship, then the intimacy can lead to sex.
Recreational sex may or may not include intimacy depending on the couple.
On this subject I am very clear. | |

Posted: 7/6/2008 2:22:42 PM | The fear of intimacy & the fear of sex... are they the same problem?
Maybe I need to ask it in a different way... how do you get past the fear of intimacy and how do you get past the fear of sex?
I think the answer is nearly identical. | |
