where I was using sex as an analogy for intimacy

Sidony, I think you are getting too caught up in your own analogy and imagining your T thinks/feels the way that you do? I doubt he feels rejected just because you don't wish to have sex with him. Sex does not strike me as being what therapeutic intimacy is really about; I don't find it a very good analogy at all.

Did you ask him at all about whether he felt rejected or how he felt about the analogy or mention to him you felt you had rejected him and were worried it could harm your chances for later, therapeutic intimacy?
