Sex and Emotion

We control the conscious mind with our thoughts. The unconscious mind rewards us with instant attraction, repulsion, and gratification. The subconscious mind reacts with a complex brew of memories that bathes us in associations. Sex, like a small number of other activities, involves all of these. I don\\u2019t think we really communicate on these topics.

We often refer to death and sex in counterpoint. I\\u2019m not sure why. Perhaps they seem to float at similar levels in our unconsciousness. One emerges as a hunger, the other as a fear. On the face of it, they don\\u2019t have much in common. I suggest it is because fear and lust are our biggest boundary issues.
