…how a woman could use sex as a tool…from a man’s perspective. Although i understand that Lawrence is trying to say that women can separate themselves from the act of sex, as a woman I have to disagree that it’s possible to not give some part of you away during such an intimate moment, it’s almost impossible not to. Just the very act of mechanical sex for a woman still involves opening herself to such an intrusion so that even if she didn’t want to give anything of herself away, it is impossible to not just lose something in the process. The dissociative act of trying to withhold oneself from the process, is not just a closing of a door, rather a cleaving of the heart; so, in that way something very much is given up.
