01I find it hard to say openly when I want intimacy or do not want it.

02During intimacy, I focus more on pleasing the other person than on how comfortable my own body feels.

03Talking about differences in desire or pace makes me feel embarrassed or tense.

04I cannot comfortably say things like 'no', 'not now' or 'let's slow down'.

05After sexual intimacy, I can feel alone or confused rather than connected and seen.

06Worries about my body make it harder to stay in the moment.

07When our intimacy becomes routine, we put off talking about it rather than approaching it with curiosity.

08I find it hard to understand how love, trust and sexual desire come together for me.
