Read the opening
From chapter 1, "The Car That Will Not Start". Every guide is written like a story, with real research behind it.
Tuesday, 9:40pm. Amara's bathroom floor. Towel on her head. Phone in her hand.
Amara had stumbled onto one of the most useful ideas in sexual health: desire and arousal are related but different.
Arousal has two parts:
- Subjective arousal: the mental feeling of being turned on, excited or "into it."
- Physical arousal: the body's response. Blood flows to the genitals, the clitoris and vaginal walls swell, lubrication increases, nipples may become erect, breathing and heart rate rise. In men, erections.
When arousal is persistently low or absent and it causes distress, doctors may call it female sexual interest and arousal disorder, or an arousal problem. Most of the time, though, slow arousal has understandable causes that can be improved.
