I think empathy has more to do with interactions than anything else. You look at those who adopt rigid roles and their interactions are often rather shallow. Look at how someone plays an instrument, it isn't "scientific" it is an art, they learn when to press, when to pull, how hard and it isn't a conscious process, they are listening to the end result and manipulating. When I turn objects on the lathe, I know where I want to end up but I don't think how hard to press or how fast to roll the skew, I just move so the shape I want appears. Same with making love to a woman, my hands and tongue weren't trained on a pillow, and what works for one often doesn't for another, one simply DOES, looking for that sweet music to fill the air. When I do a scene, there is rarely a plan, rarely an agenda other than to make it hot for both of us. I watch, I listen, I even smell, part of it is concscious but much of it goes on without me noticing, I might sense she needs to be emotionally cared for, a bit of love and softness or she might need to have her face shoved into the corner while use her as only I can for what only I may. Nah, it isn't something that is forced, nor can it be trained, it must simply be done.
