How Our Desires Influence Our Sexuality: Exploring the Factors That Shape Our Sexual Needs Good afternoon, I'm Ms. Luiza. And as a practicing professional in the universe of sexuality, one of my activities is to deal with the intricate desires, needs, fantasies and fetishes that permeate the human sexual experience. With full mastery over the areas of variation in fantasies and their nuances, as well as the factors that trigger these variations in each individual, I present here today my intention to offer a brief guide through these complexities. Although this view may seem superficial, it is indispensable in the search for a broader understanding of the subject. 1. Difference between fantasy and fetishes: Fantasies and fetishes are both significant aspects of human sexuality, but they have some fundamental differences. Fantasies are imagined sexual scenarios that may or may not be realized, while fetishes involve sexual attraction to a particular object, situation, or unconventional body part. Fantasies are shaped by a number of things, including popular culture, individual imagination, and past experiences. Fetishes, on the other hand, often develop over time and can become a central part of one's sex life. 2. What makes up our sexual desires and needs? Several factors influence our sexual desires and needs, including biology, psychology, and culture. Biology gives us our basic physical drives, while psychology and culture help shape how those drives are expressed. Furthermore, our sexual identity can play a significant role in directing our desires and needs, and our past experiences can have a strong impact on our sexual inclinations. 3. Is there a way to improve enjoyment or the relationship with sexuality? What is actually sex? Improving the sexual experience can involve many things, such as exploring new fantasies and positions, effectively communicating our needs and desires, and incorporating sexual accessories or techniques. Sex is, at its core, a form of physical expression of love and desire, but what counts as 'sex' can vary enormously from person to person. It's important that each person explores sexuality in their own way, without shame or judgement. 4. Variation of fantasies and why at times it works and at others not, latent fantasies (psyche and order) orgasmic forcing, overcoming or pushing sensations to the maximum, what can they cause? Fantasies can vary a lot and don't always work because they can be influenced by many factors, such as emotional state, past experiences, and even the cultural context. In the case of latent fantasies that are rooted in the psyche, it can be beneficial to address them with the guidance of a professional to avoid trauma. Forcing orgasmic sensations or crossing sexual boundaries can be dangerous and lead to physical injury or emotional trauma. It is important to always seek consent and have open communication during any sexual activity. In conclusion, human sexuality is a complex tapestry that spans biology, psychology, and culture. Fantasies and fetishes, although different, both play crucial roles in our sexuality. Our wants and needs are shaped by a multitude of factors, including our sexual identities and past experiences. However, the relationship with our sexuality and our enjoyment can be improved by cultivating communication, exploration and self-care. While variations in sexual fantasies and practices can have different effects depending on various factors, it is important that we always prioritize consent, safety and mental health. With these key elements, we can fully enjoy our enjoyment and our sexuality. Reading recommendations related to the topics discussed above: 1. "Sexuality: A Psychoanalytic Approach" by Christian Dunker: This book provides a deep view of the concept of sexuality from the perspective of psychoanalysis. 2. "Sex: A story you didn't learn at school" by Fernanda Furquim: This book discusses the history of sexuality in Brazil, which may be of interest to those who seek to understand how society and the environment influence our sexual practices. 3. "History of Sexuality 1: The will to know" by Michel Foucault: This is a classic that explores the relationship between power, knowledge and sexuality.
