"Without Trust, intimacy is not possible, and pleasure cannot rise to the level of ecstasy. Trust here includes trust in yourself. Trust in the knowledge that you are lovable and deserve pleasure. Trust in your lover's essential goodness, and their good intentions with you. Trust in the healing, transforming power of sex. Trust in life itself, as your guide and teacher in each moment of experience. Trust lets us open in surrender, be vulnerable and receptive, rather than armored and defensive in the most intimate acts of love. Trust allows us to enter the cycles of giving and receiving, fully and wholeheartedly."
from a new book I got today, by Margo Anand,
Sexual Ecstasy: the art of orgasm
