Kundera writes (again, in "The Unbearable Lightness of Being") that some men seek a woman's uniqueness, her most secret and individual self--the one-millionth part of her that makes her different from everyone else--through the act of sex. Certainly, some men do; but what they often don't realize is that women have many ways (as do men) of storing away that secret "I"--and sex is sometimes the least likely place to find it.
Perhaps a woman's "I" can best be found in the gazes of her loved ones.
