Understanding Desire: The Spicy Science of What Turns Us On

A playful, compassionate class that breaks down how desire actually works—why it shifts, what shapes it, and how to build a kinder, more trusting relationship with your own arousal.

Desire can feel magical, messy, and sometimes downright confusing. Why do we feel turned on one day and totally “meh” the next? In this playful and compassionate class, we’ll look at what really shapes our desire — from biology and psychology to culture, stress, and relationship dynamics.

You’ll learn how libido actually works, why it naturally changes over time, and how common myths about “normal” desire can get in the way of pleasure. We’ll unpack ideas like spontaneous vs. responsive desire, and explore why many of us have been taught stories about sexuality that don’t serve us.

Whether you’re feeling disconnected from your turn-on, curious about your erotic self, or simply love spicy science, this class will help you understand your desire with more clarity, kindness, and ease. You’ll leave with new insights, practical tools, and a more trusting relationship with your own arousal.
