Sexual desire is an important part of human emotional and physical needs, but everyone's attitude and need for sex is different. Australian clinical psychologist Sandra Pertot divides human libido into seven types, each with its own unique "sexual arousal point". Understanding these types can help us better understand our partners and create a more harmonious sexual experience.
Emotional: A blend of love and sex
Affective people see sex as a form of emotional communication. They need to feel genuine and committed to their partner in order to arouse a strong sexual desire. For this type of couple, daily care, expressions of affection, and a romantic atmosphere are key to stimulating sexual desire.
Sensory: Pursue sensory stimulation
Sensual people see sex as a feast for the senses, and they seek novelty and excitement. To satisfy this type of partner, you can try different sex styles, environments, and props, but also take care to keep it in moderation to avoid overstimulation that can lead to a decrease in satisfaction.
Cathartic: Sex as a stress release
Cathartic people release stress through sex. Regular sex is essential for them, and a lack of sex can lead to emotional problems. On the basis of a harmonious relationship, this need can be met by agreeing on a fixed time of sex.
Aggressive: Control & Fantasy
Aggressive people have their own unique demands and fantasies about sex. They need the cooperation of their partner to fulfill these fantasies in order to be fulfilled. If the partner is unwilling, both partners can communicate to meet each other's needs.
Addictive: Insatiable desires
Addicted people have a strong craving for sex, and they may be prone to cheating. To reduce the risk, you can release your energy by increasing the frequency of sex, masturbating, or participating in outdoor activities.
Pleasing type: the "good old guy" in sex
Pleassuring people are highly cooperative in sex and sometimes even ignore their own needs. They need to learn to enjoy sex and be the protagonist in the sex process, not just to please each other.
Flamboyant: Low sexual demand
People with a cold type have a relatively low need for sex and need more emotional foreshadowing and foreplay to stimulate sexual desire. Patience and attentive care, as well as small surprises in everyday life, can help them better engage in sex.
The diversity of sexual desires is a natural manifestation of human emotional and physical needs. Knowing and respecting everyone's sexual needs, through communication and understanding, couples can work together to create a more harmonious and satisfying sex life. Remember, sex is not just a physical union, it's a heart-to-heart communication and an emotional connection.
