5 Lies About Responsive Desire and Sex

Many couples get married thinking that arousal follows desire. However, this isn’t true for everyone.

Responsive desire is a normal and common experience for many spouses.

There are five major lies about responsive desire that you might believe.

It’s time to clear things up so you can experience stronger sexual intimacy.

Lie #1: If you have to get “in the mood,” something’s wrong.

Many people perceive spontaneous desire as “normal” because that’s what they see in the media.

But author and researcher Emily Nagoski found that only 15% of women and 75% of men experience spontaneous desire.

Responsive desire does not mean something is wrong with you. It’s simply how your brain and body work.

That’s why foreplay is a key aspect of sexual intimacy.

Lie #2: All men have spontaneous desire.

You might assume that all men have spontaneous desire and all women have responsive desire. It’s simply not true.

A quarter of men experience responsive desire. In other words, you may need to engage in sexual acts before you get an erection.

Desire is not gender specific. That’s why it’s essential to have these conversations with your spouse. Your desire is specific to you.

Lie #3: Having mismatched desires is bad for your marriage.

Likely, you and your spouse have different levels of desire. The truth is that you can have strong and passionate sexual intimacy even with different sexual desires.

That said, it’s vital to communicate about your mismatched desires. Otherwise, one spouse may feel rejected, unloved, or unwanted.

Make sure to address any issues quickly to avoid cracks in your emotional or sexual intimacy.

Hey Reader, What would your marriage look like if sex was happening consistently… not just when everything lines up perfectly? Most couples don't want to admit this, but waiting for a spontaneous moment usually means it rarely happens at all. That's exactly why we created The Intimacy Lifestyle back when our kids were little. We knew that if we didn't make sex a priority, it just wouldn't happen. And we didn't want that to be our story.
