None of us, irrespective of our sexual preference and/or practice, imagine that we can have an intimate relationship with a partner and always have seamless harmony. Indeed, most of us assume that once the βhoneymoonβ period is over differences will emerge and conflicts will happen. Positively, we also assume that we will be βsafeβ in those moments; that even if voices are raised and emotions expressed are intense, there will not be and should not be any abuse or any reason to be unsafe, and that the will to connect and communicate will prevail. β¨ bell hooks (2013). Teaching Critical Thinking: Practical Wisdom, p.75, Routledge
