Welcome to responsive desire. It's craving and longing sensory seduction through your partner's touch, taste, smell, sound, sight. Because it's physical leaning in nature, this type of longing thrives in an environment where our senses are activated and the subtleties of pleasure are slowly explored.

Couples do tend to experience a higher degree of spontaneous desire at the beginning of their relationship. If we, however, use this as baseline for what is “normal,” rather than seeing it as a different type of longing, then we are at risk of letting the sexual connection we had with our partner completely wither.

Berlinerin, feminist, friend. I couldn't think of someone better to start out this series. ‘Interviews on Love’ aims to explore the wide spectrum of relationship models out there, however unconventional they may be, and create a safe space in which we can learn from each other’s experiences.
