Emily Nagoski - "I drew this graph about sexual desire… and i think it might change your life.”
‘“Spontaneous’ desire is sexual desire that feels out of the blue, whereas responsive desire emerges once a person is in an erotic context. The mainstream cultural understanding of desire tends to be that it’s ‘spontaneous,’ and I’ve been looking for a way to show that responsive desire is just as normal and healthy as spontaneous desire.”
