You could even take this a step further then the basic concept of penetration. You might also factor in that men are commonly bigger and usually stronger then their female partners. (with regards to heterosexual relationships anyways). That developing of trust and subsequent emotional attachment may begin from the onset. Think of a woman getting into a man's car, or being alone with him at a private location, etc.

I don't think there is anything ancient about this perception. I can think of a couple modern examples in which this still rings true. The most obvious one is prison rape.
I do think you are right on with regards to trust being closely linked to an emotional attachment. To truly trust someone, I can't see that happening for myself without some sort of connection much more meaningful then "take my word for it".
