This is dumb but never underestimate the capacity for desire to brute through your defence mechanisms

Brute through is probably poor phrasing but you get the idea. (Also applies to something less horny-adjacent like longing. Maybe no real difference between longing/longer/longed-for but there is tremendous richness in learning what gets played in that tension/resolve)

I've been finding the accelerator/brake model super useful for reasoning about a lot of things recently. It indeed starts out as a model for horniness, but it works for a lot of desire more broadly.https://twitter.com/DRMacIver/status/1252253271655428097 …

David R. MacIver @DRMacIverThe Accelerator/Brake model https://notebook.drmaciver.com/posts/2020-04-20-10:52.html … It's usually worth decomposing interest in an activity into what drives you towards it (an accelerator) and what stops you (a brake). This model comes from the book "Come As You Are", where it's about sex, but is more general.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
