- How Steve’s earlier sexual experiences led to repressing his needs and being performative in later relationships
- The differences Steve has experienced between having sex with men versus women
- A spontaneous, real-time moment of processing between Steve and Janice about Steve’s internalized belief that women don’t want him sexually
- A mutually healing sexual experience between Janice and Steve
