English term or phrase: "them" en este párrafo
Thus, In MIchael case there was also a link between the closeness of sexuality and the threat of destructive aggresion. For instance, he worried about women "giving in " to their own sexual pleasure and paying for the enjoyment of intercourse with an unwanted pregnancy, a child that might burden *them* forever


me pregunto si este "them" se refiere a "ambos partcipantes" en el coito o a "las mujeres". Lo que me hace sospechar de "ambos" es que en los sueños de Michael las mujeres le devoran y por tanto es una agresividad que afecta a la pareja ( o incluso a él basicamente). Yo lo traduje así:
"Así, en el caso de Michael existía también un vínculo entre la intimidad de la sexualidad y la amenaza de una agresión destructiva. Por ejemplo, le preocupaba que las mujeres «se entregaran» a su propio placer sexual y pagaran el goce obtenido en el coito con un embarazo indeseado, un niño que podría ser una carga definitiva para ellos"
