Have you ever given some thought to the question where this trust comes from for those people you trust? It might be long-standing acquaintance, or it could be an instant connection you seem to have made; you may have known the guy since your childhood, or that guy has been introduced as trustworthy by your best friend,… As you can see, there are lots of ways to slip into that trust-zone. The operative verb here is ‘to slip’. Giving trust is usually an unconscious action, and mostly we act on our gut reaction to a person. Seeing someone else trust that person might put him on the fast track, but in the end it is still your gut speaking to you. Is this a good thing? I believe so: trust is not something we give because we HAVE to, but because it feels right, in any situation in life. The purely physical act of having sex does not necessarily require trust, but a meaningful connection with another person most certainly does. When you move from strangers to friends to close friends to lovers, that usually indicates an increased level of trust. Yes, of course there is a certain amount of lust there as well, but if you meet someone for more than a fleeting encounter, and move forward to a more sensual and erotic, rather than purely sexual, understanding with that man, trust turns from an obscure concept to an essential part of the equation. Maybe it’s time to sit down and consider why you trust certain people more than others. Why is that? Is there something in those reasons that you consider crucial to your decision to move certain people upwards on the “trust scale”? there can be no sensuality without trust
