DESIRE AND LIBIDO
"DESIRE IS A LOT, POSSESSION ISN'T MUCH" WROTE GEORGE SAND
Desire combines anguish and fulfilment, uncertainty and gratification, guilt and joy.
The amorous desire can be defined as an impulse of lust with a strong sentimental connotation. It is a predominantly emotional mentalization linked to the need for warmth, intimacy, affection, affective security, and even important fusion needs.
The amorous desire arises from dreaming of the partner. It therefore demands an ability of admiration, fascination and wonder.
THE DESIRE IN WOMEN
LIBIDO
Libido is increasingly affirmed as a quantitative concept: it makes it possible to measure the processes and transformations in the field of sexual arousal. Its production, its increase and its decrease, its distribution and its displacement allow us to measure the desire and the sexual drive.
Due to its ability to persist outside the realm of sexuality and sensual excitement, it is a positive force and energy well embedded in the nature of the human being and oriented towards the preservation of life.
TOO MUCH LIBIDO?
NOT ENOUGH LIBIDO?
It is when a kind of asexuality sets in, no interest in sexual projects, activity or encounter. However, voluntary sexual abstinence must not be confused with a lack of libido.
