YOUR MARILAL HEALTH/THE SUPER SEX RESPONSE MODEL: DESIRE

Author: admin

DESIRE: This term refers to frequency of sexual interaction. It does not mean “wanting” sex, only how many times you and your spouse are sexually intimate. With this use of the word “desire,” a systems orientation is necessary because it refers to interaction, not a drive state. “Low” desire and “high” desire are relative terms indicating a couple’s report of how often they are sexual together. You will understand more about this way of using the word “desire” by learning about the other nine phases of sexual response.

“You have absolutely no desire,” said the wife. “You have sex but you don’t really want it.”

“Well, you want it, you have desire,” responded the husband, “but you don’t really have it, you don’t enjoy it.”

You can see the danger in “assigning” sexual motives. I have found it helpful to use desire simply and directly as a number, a count that means nothing but number and certainly is not a symptom of the presence or absence of sexual interest or arousal.
