In this chapter, Chapter Twelve we explore sex as a relational tool rather than a moral or performative act, emphasizing its capacity to foster connection, safety, and intimacy . For much of his life, Brian’s experiences with sex were shaped by shame, fear, and performance anxiety, mirroring his broader relational struggles with powerlessness and disconnection. Early relationships reinforced these wounds, turning sex into an arena for proving worth rather than sharing intimacy. His relationship with Stephanie marked a turning point—through genuine desire, emotional safety, and open communication, sex became a space for healing rather than performance.
