The bodily urge of desire is only sexual in nature Everything else is an emotional state developed out of this primary desire. Sexual desire is the sum of the forces that lean us toward and away from sexual behavior
The ordinary spectrum of sexual desire's intensity ranges between aversion, disinclination, indifference, interest, need, and passion.
