Episode notes
Responsive Desire Is Context-Driven
- Responsive desire arises from sexual context and stimuli rather than appearing spontaneously.
- Both spontaneous and responsive desire are equally valid and simply different expressions of desire.
Accelerators And Brakes Explain Desire
- Desire can be framed as accelerators (things that turn us on) and brakes (things that turn us off).
- People differ by sensitivity to accelerators or brakes, not by being better or worse.
Actively Cultivate And Express Desire
- Take responsibility for cultivating and expressing your own sexual desire in the marriage.
- Both partners should initiate and show desire to create a balanced sexual relationship.
