Reestablishing intimacy after a trust violation brings up the issue of comparison: questions, is that how she did this, is that what he did to get your interest, did she wear perfume, did he …. These are the more inhibiting factors in regaining trust and interest. Is it real or just a technique of lust? Giving or receiving intimacy always has the question of how am I doing, was it good, did he do this or that, did she enjoy…. All these questions influence the affection and commitment or overcoming timidity and unabashed activity. Comparison is the bomb!
