“…This dilemma, the contradiction between being attracted to the woman you love and at the same time being afraid of losing yourself in her, the fear of being nothing, of not realizing yourself – probably every man deals with this fear. He sees it as mutually exclusive, not complementary. Meanwhile, male emotions – which men have inherited from the ur-lover – deal with the contradiction between the seemingly violent potential of the sex act and the love for his beloved, whom he does not wish to hurt or profane.
