Myth #10: It's Turned On or Nothing (or: Spontaneous Arousal)


Listen Later

or, The Myth of Spontaneous Desire.

On this week's episode, Christine and Shannon talk about factors that get in the way of being "turned on," spontaneous desire vs. responsive desire, and what it means to have "arousal non-concordance." Which is all to say: being turned on is neither purely physical nor purely mental; so talk to your partners, and be clear about your attraction and desire!
