EMBRACING CONFLICT

Nothing builds intimacy like shared vulnerability. We’ll never discount all the wonderful things that we get from sharing love—laughter and happiness and sex—but nothing deepens intimacy like the experiences we share when we feel flayed, with our skins off, scared and vulnerable, and our lovers are there with us, willing to share in the scary stuff. These are the times that bring us the closest together.

What’s in It for You?

Some people find it surprising to learn that a slut can experience overwhelming insecurities, but the truth is that sluts are just as nervous as anyone else, and skills to allay our anxieties were not taught to us in our cradles.

Your own freedom might turn out to be a lot easier to accept than your partners’—or vice versa. Going out and staying home are separate functions, like eating and cooking, each with its own rewards, and each requires specific skills to accomplish.

“Nothing builds intimacy like shared vulnerability.”
