Do you think there is a link between sex and fear? Do we get turned on by specific things that we are afraid? Is there a good reason why horror is often tied to eroticism in movies?

Personally, I think there is a very strong link. I find films which tie the two together a huge turn on, and generally if a guy wants to get me in bed, all he has to do is invite me over to watch a horror film... my heart is thumping, my breathing is affected, and I do NOT want to sleep alone that night.

I also get turned on by fantasies which involve experiences that scare the bejesus out of me, such as loss of control, pain or sensual overload.

What do you think?
