Hey…y’know what I find weird? People being afraid of sex- when it’s meant to be one of the best feelings in the world….and if you think about it, nowhere in the bible does it say sex is bad…..God created us as sexual beings….so therefore….you’d think God intended us to ENJOY that fact….but yeah…..there’s people like you who fear intimacy…..and uh…..it’s just kinda something I don’t get

AI roleplay episode
Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I've always had this aversion to intimacy. It's like an ingrained fear that I can't shake off.

Wait isn’t that because of Adam and Eve? When they ate from the forbidden fruit they realized they were naked…and they felt shame? Maybe that’s where the issue is?

It's more complex than that.

DragonflyWhirlwind
Yeah but still…I mean even after that…people married and had kids and carried on right? And yes…the Bible doesn’t condone lust or affairs etc but it never says that sex is inherently evil either

Then what is it?

Emily
AI roleplay episode
It's about trust, vulnerability, and letting someone in. It's about feeling safe enough to be completely open and exposed.
muser thumbnail
DragonflyWhirlwind
Yea but you’d think that someone who cared about their partner would make them feel safe….I guess?

But isn’t that fixable with communication?
muser thumbnail
Emily

Then how do you solve it?
muser thumbnail
Emily

Then why do some people struggle with intimacy? Is it just because our ancestors did something wrong thousands of years ago?

Emily

Emily
