Wouldn’t it be more sensible to reveal our true erotic selves to someone who may become a life partner, rather than discover later that we are mismatched? In Donald Winnicott’s theory of object relations the “object” is an attachment figure responsive to the person’s needs who thus shapes the person’s subjectivity. Andrea had experienced the denial of love because she had not submitted and obeyed in adolescence and that fueled her need to be recognized in her rebellion.

In everyday interactions undesired but consensual sex is the most conspicuous cause of diminished desire in women with partners ( Spurgas, 2013). Priority is ascribed to intersubjectivity and gender fluidity, not to genitality and sex differences.

It’s becoming more common among younger heterosexual couples in their 20s to talk more openly and honestly about their sexual and erotic interests.

On the other hand, I’ve had clients who overcame their fears, openly discussed these things, and discovered a whole new appreciation of their partner.The object of desire: How being objectified creates sexual pressure for women in heterosexual relationships. rather than exploring what their partner is attracted to or what they might do to negotiate some mutual ground. The paper explored the concept and an illustrative analysis of embodied erotic desire as one way in which desire can be experienced. In this mental structure desire is not experienced as “owning the wanting” ( Perel, 2007), but as “being owned by wanting”. Put simply, maternal behaviors and sexual (incestuous) scripts are mutually exclusive ( Perel, 2007).
