I agree with Jabe73. Sexual desire is so potent when it occurs. A person’s desire crests and falls based on so many things and many of those things are governed by the mind, the personality and the general situation a person finds him/herself in. For example if you are unemployed and desperately searching for a job, in most but not all cases, your sex life will take a back seat to your job hunt. It’s survival and it also may be a hit to your self esteem which affects your libido. Which is another point to make. Sexual drive depends largely on libido, which is life force. If you have a strong libido you will have a strong sex drive generally. But I agree with Freud that that libido can be channeled into (sublimated, that is) other pursuits. Only when 2 people find one another and the right chemistry is there will the sexual drive feel a strong push to be expressed. I feel that in our society now there may be too many people who are having sex for all the wrong reasons! Kids, really, who have no relationship, seeing all the sexually provocative movies, tv shows, advertisements etc. feel like they have to have sex to prove they can. I mean, is it coming from the heart? I understand hormonal surges have their effect!!! ha ha. I’ve been there. But I ramble.
so in sum, to try to answer the question RealEyesRealizeRealLies, where am I mistaken?
I would have to say I don’t think you can seperate the 2 things mind/body, biological/psychological. Especially not if you’re talking about something as complex as sexual desire. That said, maybe the men here would quibble with my notion that chemistry is so important to sexual desire. And I wonder, what do you all think about the idea,concept of sexual chemistry? or is that another question?
