About this source

Read the original source ↗

This supports replacing performance goals with curiosity. Desire, body response, pleasure, and orgasm overlap, but they are not interchangeable and none of them proves consent. The key boundary is that it cannot establish diagnosis, individual prediction, universal claims, or advice beyond its stated scope..

Why it matters: This source demonstrates that sexual response varies across people and situations. That can reduce performance pressure and help readers treat averages as descriptions, not requirements for a body.
