> Perhaps the reason why I feel so strongly is because I haven't had much sexual experience with people. I haven't slept with anyone other than my husband, so I guess that maybe part of the reason why I took it at a much higher level than you guys do.
I can imagine that differences in background would mean differences in the experience of transference. So maybe it's true that I'd be more likely to feel it like any other potential partner (and I've had more than average), whereas maybe people who haven't had so many partners might feel like it's more of a soul-mate kind of thing.
I think there are some other people on the board who have had fewer than the average number of sexual partners, and maybe they can identify with you. (Is that a reasonable way to describe numbers of partners without making people feel uncomfortable? In terms of averages? I don't want to characterise anyone as 'madonna' or 'wh*re'...)
