I voted 'no' and explained it in the thread designed to discuss it...just go there for the extended version. In short, voting 'yes' to me is saying you pay so little attention to your surroundings and your partner, or are so ego driven, that you take unnecessary risks with your partner. I was surprised by the number of yes votes. You should care about your partners, and because of that you don't fear hurting them because you avoid doing stupid, reckless things. Again, it's like saying you fear crashing when you drive your car. I certainly don't, but I guess a lot of others do. It may be that they read the question differently, or that they really are afraid...could be lots of reasons, I'm hoping they just read the word 'fear' in a different way--otherwise it would make me nervous to think that many folks on the mat felt that out of control.
How would you feel if, as you boarded a plane, your pilot announced 'Boy, today I'm really feeling afraid of crashing?'. Or your doctor handed you a prescription with a smile and the words 'You know, every time I treat you I fear I'm doing the wrong thing'.
