How does sexual desire really arise? - The science behind arousal | DW Documentary

Sexual desire often feels like a spontaneous, almost uncontrollable sensation. A thought, a touch, a voice — and suddenly, the body and mind react. But arousal is less random than many people think!

Wow, confusing, practice makes perfection, learning is confusing particularly if a question has more than one answer, be single eyed, forget about the animal enjoy the meat. The act is time less, and fear of the Unknown kills the enjoyment. If you want to go south, go without turning southeast or southwest and your destination will just be south. The act has been over rated and given so many styles, dos and don'ts all these contributes to fear and confusion. And when fear and confusion rules it's like prison, no enjoyment. Protection is a rule , rules are like a fence once in a fence you don't have freedom. The answer to good life is awareness, when we are a waken to what life is meant to be no fear will rule except joy.

This is not the old era where survival meant just having food. Today, raising a child requires stability, planning, and responsibility. If we lack financial stability and resources, it is unfair to bring a child into a life of struggle and suffering. Life is tough, and opportunities are not guaranteed. Having children is a serious responsibility, not a social obligation.

the Rise of the Far right documentary you posted yesterday and youtube immediately took down , can we get that back up pls. It was soo insightful, I was half way through watching it when it was removed, my best guess a youtube mod read the title, watched the required 30secs and decided it goes against his views. I think you should challenge the decision if possible.

It's interesting that this documentary mentions the Pavlov dog experiment. In my case, women I've encountered in my life have programmed my brain to release only stress hormones and made me experience only negative feelings over the many years. And they keep wondering why I don't pursue women...

Good video DW👍
@
This documentary goes off on a different tangent instead of tackling the title.
@
Insightful and interesting! I actually learned a few things about the female system that I didn't know. Thank you!
