I can’t count the number of women I’ve talked with who assume that because their desire is responsive, rather than spontaneous, they have “low (sexual) desire.”

Emily Nagoski, NYTimes

Pretty fascinating and simple concept that not all people experience sexual arousal/desire in the same fashion.  Society generally crams the notion down our throats that the “desire then arousal” pathway is the normal route, which can leave the people who don’t fit into that model out in the cold.
