What is Desire and What Turns Me On

Desire is to own the wanting. People turn themselves off when they do activities like emails, spending too much time on the phone, overeating, not exercising, having bad days at work, lacking confidence, numbing themselves, feeling dead or not thriving. These turn-offs have very little to do with sex. On the other hand, people turn themselves on when they engage in activities like being in nature, connecting with friends, doing sports, playing or listening to music. These activities give pleasure, aliveness, vibrancy, vitality, and eroticism as life force. From this place, people remain interested in having sex with someone for the long term.
