"There's just not enough to go around" - Part Two
Added 2023-04-16 10:00:03 +0000 UTCGood morning!
Today, we'll continue exploring scarcity, specifically with renewable resources like energy or sexual desire. What is and isn't within our control? What plays into our fears, and how do we talk about it?
I'll share how I approach these tensions, what I ask of myself and my partners, including anecdotes from my life. Please only take what resonates, and I welcome your feedback on any angles that I missed.
Chapters:
- 00.00 Intro
- 01.35 Naming it
- 03.53 Technical blocks (differences in needs and abilities)
- 06.22 Internal blocks (how we might get in our own way)
- 08.18 Expressing it / troubleshooting solutions
- 14.45 Historical pains (what past events play into these feelings?)
- 19.37 What if it's irreconcilable?
- 21.53 Outro

I hope it may be of service.
Warmly,
Morgan

Hi! Sure, what kind of desire do you mean? Romantic, sexual, temporal, shared goals or lack thereof, etc. I shared a bit on this in November here - https://www.patreon.com/posts/can-we-add-up-74571887 But let me know if that doesn't really cover it, and I'll see what else I can come up with. :)

2023-06-11 10:23:53 +0000 UTCThank you so much for that input. I’m missing the perspective of the person feeling a lack of desire for their partner. How do I untangle that? How can I understand what is happening, how to unpack the reasons behind it? And how do I need to communicate around that? Especially if there is a change in desire. I feel the narrative that desire for one’s partner is an indicator of how much one wants a relationship is so dominant, that I find it hard not to read a lack of desire as a sign about the overall relationship. I would be happy to hear your thoughts on that.
