ref: 2000 September 20, yam, “Intimacy & S'x”, in alt.sexual.abuse.recovery.moderated (Usenet), retrieved 26 Jul 2022:
text: I don't have an SO and I don't think I ever will. Sometimes that makes me kind of sad, but I don't think that I can do my side of building that kind of relationship. Also, I see absolutely no connection between s*x and l*ve. I don't experience s*x as an expression of l*ve nor do I see s*x as incompatible with l*ve. I don't know if that's healthy or not, but for me it seems to interfere with establishing a long-term s*x**l relationship. I had a short (less than a month maybe) s*x**l relationship about a year ago, I think it was. That was the first time I had s*x since the night I got pr*gn*nt with my daughter, who will be 19 soon. I can't say I regret it, exactly, but it wasn't worth the bother.

The characteristic of intrusive s*x is violation; intrusive s*x is s*x whether someone wants it or not. Sometimes intrusive s*x can be extremely subtle, so that the victim is unaware or, if suspiscious, uncertain enough not to protest.
