Summary/Abstract: The display of passion during interactions led us into a delusion that the source of intensity of our own passion is somewhere outside of ourselves, in the physical behaviour or in another person. When we believe that the passion dwells within things we do with our bodies, we usually overlook the fact that what makes sex the most problematic and the most precious, are the meanings we ascribe to it.
