Answer to Question 2
Answer: C
Fulfillment of sexuality depends on the ability to relate to a partner in an intimate and mutually pleasing manner that is compatible with one's values and chosen lifestyle. Lack of intimacy is related to satisfaction problems. If one has sex with a stranger, the body may function well, but there is often a sense of something missing after the sexual experience. Making love to one person while feeling more attracted to or in love with another person can result in feelings of emptiness or disconnection. Even couples in a committed relationship may complain of lack of intimacy. Dissatisfaction issues include lack of romance, love, tenderness, and nurturance.
