[QUOTE]Originally posted by Heather: [QB] So, here's that snippet (italics and bolding mine): Kurt's Dad: for most guys, sex is just this thing we want to do. It's fun, feels great, but we're not really thinking too much about how it makes us feel on the inside or how, you know, the other person feels about it. Kurt: Women are Different? Kurt's dad: [i]Only because they [b]get[/b] that it's about something more than just the physical.[/i] You know, when you're intimate with somebody in that way, you're exposing yourself, you're never going to be more vulnerable and that scares the hell out of a lot of guys. What I heard, and what seems to be being said in that text, is not that sex is emotional for women and not for men, but that Kurt's Dad observes that women more typically understand and accept that it is also emotional. Like I said, I still think that could have been said better and with less gender essentialism, but I certainly think it's accurate to say that people raised as women get way more messaging that the emotional is an aspect of sex than people raised as men tend to.
