Psychology and Sex

Sex and Psychology

I was on a crowded subway many years ago, and I was pressed up tightly against someone. Should I get…excited?

Well, was I pressing up against a man or a woman?

If it was a woman, was it an attractive woman – not an old woman, not a child? With regular features and a good figure?

And…what was I pressing against? A hip? A shoulder? A breast?

When I talk about this episode, people question me: What was it? Did I let myself get aroused?

I don’t remember. I do remember how startled I was to realize how dependent on psychology my response was.
