Is sex as close as you get to somebody getting you?

We are smitten by somebody who lets us in and “gets” us, somebody who is tuned in to us. The biological need we have to be loved is really a need to be seen and understood, to be valued, to be responded to. To be in synch!

And while this desire seems almost lost to our consciousness, it helps to explain why sex is our favorite substitute for love.

If only for a few moments, we have dropped our boundaries and connected.
