Hey, I just want to make clear that I think in the vast vast majority of cases (like 99.99999%) and probably in my own, having a sexual relationship with your therapist is courting emotional disaster. All I'm disagreeing with is whether there is "real" intimacy and love. I think there is.I also (like many of you) doubt it would feel the same if it became a "real" relationship (as opposed to only a therapeutic one), and I agree that you wouldn't get nearly as much undivided attention as you're used to getting in a therapy session, and that could be hugely disappointing.
In general, I believe sleeping with your therapist is ill-advised. That said, I would do it in an instant! (Partially because I'm nuts.)
