It's like The Little Prince.
The principito.
Maybe this principito it has also helped you at something because if you didn't have that pride you couldn't have gone far in this country as an immigrant.

Come As You Are

Episode: He Wants it Everyday, She Wants it Never
The book, "Come as You Are" by Emily Nagoski, was referenced to discuss the concept of responsive desire, contrasting it with spontaneous arousal. It was mentioned that responsive desire is common in women and can be triggered by invitation and pleasure.
"
Emily Nagoski in her book Come As You Are describes it very beautifully you have you are responsive but you're not going to be responsive if you experience the man you're gonna be responsive if there is invitation and even more so you're going to be responsive when the invitation comes from you not from him because it's so hard for you to experience his as an invitation rather than as a demand as a need.
When he needs you and he comes with you with that need that emotional need not just a section it's an emotional need in the language of sex then you can be nice and you can be kind and you can do it because you're taking care of him but you experience nothing pleasurable for yourself except the fact that you feel good about having been nice to him and on occasion you start to resent it too very true okay so that script is what is standing in your way at this point.

It was described as a tour de force and a manifesto for a generation of women in their 40s and 50s, exploring the tension between domesticity and eroticism, and the challenges of maintaining desire in long-term relationships. The book's themes resonated with many listeners, prompting conversations about sexuality and female identity.
"
I just read All Force, the new novel by Miranda July and it's a real tour de force.
It's actually touted as a manifesto for a generation. The generation often of women 45 to 50 who are in the next biological clock crisis which is the narrowing down of the pinnacle of their libido and who is wondering, is this it? Am I going to live like that for another 20 years? What's now?
I read the book and I thought wow this is a book, a fiction version of mating in captivity. It explores the tension between the domestic and the erotic, between our need for safety and our need for freedom and adventure, between stability and aliveness.
