Really enjoyed this format! I’m struggling to find desire at the moment as I deal with losing my mom to Alzheimer’s. Sometimes I question if it’s just that or also the fact that my boyfriend and I are approaching the 6 year mark (which really isn’t that long) but long enough to require more effort to keep the sparks flying.

Little side note: it says “Should we link Emily?” in Erica’s essay. Feels like maybe that was a note between you two that was overlooked before publishing. It just shows you’re human! But wanted to mention in case it was a mistake. 😊

This was a really great read. I find myself in a state of arousal more often than not with no desire that I can pin point. I think I live in the privacy of my mindbtoo much as it feels safer this way. The vulnerability of desiring someone and being aroused by them perhaps is a bit beyond me currently.
