I would need to know more about the use of sex as an analogy for intimacy, but if I am correct I remember you in the past stating that one of the reasons you entered therapy was because you have trouble with intimacy in relationships. I think that if you are equating sex with intimacy, then no wonder you wouldn't have sexual feelings towards him. If sex=intimacy for you, then if you are afraid of one, perhaps you'd be afraid of the other. (Speaking in terms of T and erotic transference and all that).

This tells me that maybe you are projecting your fear of rejecting him onto him; i.e., this statement indicates a fear of him rejecting you. You put yourself on the outside and he is closer, more 'intimate' with others.

I think you are very brave for telling him this and you are doing some very hard work in therapy.
