That was an excellent article, Laurie.
.
While we cannot change others, we can encourage them to express themselves. And, when they express themselves and see that they're still okay in your eyes, they will build more self respect toward their own being. It's important to let them know that we won't reject them, no matter what. That's part of the trust building you speak about.

You have given excellent and good advice.

Thanks, Pink! My next article, related to this one, is about casual versus committed sex. Fear of intimacy plays a big part in casual encounters, and I'm wondering if that will raise any interesting discussions?
