67: Embrace your desire style: explaining spontaneous vs. responsive desire


Listen Later

Join me as I demystify desire, empowering you to embrace your own authentic experience of spontaneous and responsive longing.

In this episode, I explore the concepts of spontaneous and responsive desire, two different models of how humans experience desire. We discuss the importance of understanding these desires, embracing individual differences, and fostering self-awareness in order to enhance relationships and sexual experiences which in turn can lead to better self-compassion and more fulfilling relationships.

In this episode:

  1. Mental arousal and its activation in the body.

  2. Differentiating between spontaneous desire and responsive desire.

  3. Normalizing the experience of both spontaneous and responsive desire and challenging stereotypes and avoiding judgment based on desire types.

  4. Enhancing self-awareness to better communicate desires in relationships and nurturing compromise and meeting each other's needs in partnered sexuality.
