Desire & erotic intelligence

The capacity to notice desire as information: what pulls you, what state or experience you imagine it will create, and what becomes clearer when wanting is allowed to be specific.

Desire & erotic intelligence is the capacity to stay curious about wanting without immediately turning it into a command, a shame problem or a destiny.

Desire can point towards touch, recognition, freedom, intensity, novelty, rest, status, belonging or a state you have attached to an object or person. The first answer is not always the whole answer.

What are you hoping this will let you feel?

Desire decoding means giving wanting enough attention to become more precise. Sometimes the desired thing remains exactly what you want. Sometimes the deeper state can be met in more than one way.
