Yes, the progression has exactly that tantalizing quality. Thank you for putting out there so clearly.
As for where I've heard it before -- I wish I could trace it to my family of origin. At least that would make sense. But I can't. My parents did not tantalize each other, nor did they arouse and frustrate me in that way.
I wonder if he's mirroring a message *I'm* sending. I've been up front about my feelings in the transference but not, perhaps, as responsible as I should have been minimizing his arousal in the interests of the therapy.
I was under the impression that his arousal was his responsibility, though.
