For years studies on sexual desire have been focused on the male population, and then that standard has been placed on women. There is pressure to be aroused, desire sex at all times, and want to be intimate. Culture, religion, family pressures, counseling pressures, and more all make desire something mandated. What if desire could just be desire? What if you don't have to want sex?
