It's OK to ask Muffy. Really. I bet it would be OK to ask your therapist questions about this too.
I think some of the similarity of feeling aroused and feeling angry or scared is all about energy and what connections your brain has made between all of that. If you were scared but aroused while being abused, the connection might stay wired. I also think there is something about fear that brings on the need to be held and soothed and protected. But holding someone can trigger a body response too. It is all so complicated, isn't it?
Why are you trying to not feel too much? If you can enjoy sex without being scared or angry, or triggered, I would think that is a good thing.
