Takeaways

Society plays a significant role in shaping women's thoughts and

desires.

Women are often socialized to see themselves as objects of desire

and believe that their desirability is dependent on others.

Body image and self-criticism can negatively impact women's

relationship with desire and pleasure.

Communication is essential in fostering healthy and fulfilling

sexual relationships.

Changing thoughts and self-criticism is a gradual process that

requires patience and self-compassion.
