<< Huh? Find me that medical research, it sounds like you are making a claim based on a single person. I have never heard that, read that, or otherwise been informed of that fact in any medical journal, human sexuality class, or other. And I sincerely doubt you'll find backup.
M'dear, at this point I believe we are entering the area of psychosomatic disorders. Human beings are queer creatures. They fear that which is novel in an effort to maintain those walls they have built up around themselves in order to cope with the world. Their precious ego shaken and shatered by themselves and the world around them, in part due to dualism and objectification, they require those walls and this may indeed prevent an enjoyment of their sexuality.
Much in life and in those scientific journals is a bunch of crap. Although your point is valid, the empirical observation of a particular instance does not imply causation.
What I mean in, it really depends and the real point of this thread was to make us aware that people are fragile, usually need much support from others, and that one should not boast about random events as it tends to put people down, which in most cases just builds up those walls we put around us. Sarah's effort here is to be open and to remain helthy and balanced. For that, I must commend her and disagree with Jean. Some things, when pent up, form themselves into vile creatures that haunt us in our dreams and make living repulsive. But what happens when we give them a hug? That's exactly what we're finding out here.
Cheers ! >>
I don't know... I think many people generally find it quite pleasant when their most intimate thoughts flood over into their dreams
Also my comments were in no way meant as a dis against Sarah or anyone else here !
