Desire: What it is, How it Works & How to Regain it Post Cancer

What is responsive (reactive) desire?

  • You do not feel “in the mood” ahead of time
  • Desire is experienced after warmth, closeness, safety, touch or strong emotional connection
  • Mind and body “wake up” gradually
  • Desire grows & develops rather than igniting the experience
  • This type of desire is normal, healthy, and very common
