What is arousal non-concordance?
Our genitals are natural wonders. They are self-cleaning, temperature-regulating, epicenters of pleasure. Shakespeare alluded to them with clever double entendres, Georgia O'Keeffe plastered them all over vibrant canvases, and for all of human existence, we have theorized about what exactly is going on down there. While our sexual organs have a slew of hidden talents, one they lack is the ability to accurately communicate our wants, preferences, or level of enjoyment when it comes to sex.
Our mouths water when we are hungry, our palms pool with sweat when we get nervous, and our arm hairs stand up straight when we hear the opening chords to Fleetwood Mac's"Silver Springs." Yet when it comes to intimacy, we regard bodily response as something more than just an involuntary reaction to sexual stimuli.
Arousal non-concordance also applies to situations where all these signs of arousal just aren't happening despite the fact you might be completely into what is happening and totally turned on. If you have ever had a partner get discouraged when your genitalia is not reacting to their touch, know that arousal non-concordance is the culprit and it is in no way a sign that your sex life is passionless and in a downward spiral .
But where did this myth derive? In ancient societies, there are a variety of documents that tie the conception of a child with a woman's orgasm. Even Aristotle wrote about it in one of the very first known sex manuals, called" THE MASTERPIECE AND OTHER WORKS," where he dives into the logic that a child could only be created of a woman's pleasure.
