Sexual Desire



“I wanted so badly to throw caution to the wind, go to her home, knock on the door, walk in, and begin a delicious tasting of each other, no words uttered. However, sense and sensibility had to stay in control.” from the novel Ghostwriter by Terry Birchwood


No matter how holy, celibate, or virgin we wish to be, most of our bodies ache for stimulation at some point in time. Many of us are sexually aroused through all of our senses: an attractive sight, a sweet-smelling scent, the sound of a voice, the taste of someone’s lips, or the touch of flesh.  Sexual desire is a dynamic need, also triggered by a well of emotions: love, lust, loneliness, insecurity, a need to conquer and on and on. 

Whatever the reason for your sexual desire, it is a natural stimulus. While I am attracted to women of diverse physical characteristics, the common draw to them is sexiness, intelligence, self-confidence, a great sense of humor, and uninhibited thinking. I know what turns me on – the mental trumps the physical, but both are important to awaken my sexual desire, fully.

Whatever arouses you, there is a time and place for everything. If we had sex with everyone who sparked our interest, we would probably sex it up for most of the day, have unimaginable venereal diseases, and be desensitized to the pleasures of sex. I say, be free to fulfill your sexual desire while you utilize sense and sensibility when choosing to indulge in the activity. There is no reason to deny your body the joy of sex; just take care of your body and make mindful decisions that are good for your soul.
