You know, it's funny. I think my therapist was way more comfortable discussing sexuality in the early days of therapy. He asked the usual questions, and exhibited a willingness to discuss it, and a comfort with discussing it. And the CBT materials would include things like using orgasm when feeling anxious.

I can't say I was ever comfortable discussing it.

But I think it's less comfortable now. We know each other better in other ways, so talking about sex is weirder than it would be with a stranger. I have to really steel myself to bring it up, and while he does not in any way discourage my doing so, I can see that he makes a sort of shift into forced relaxation. He certainly never brings it up, even at times when bringing it up would not be unnatural.
