Arousal Window
Arousal Window refers to the range of emotional, mental, and physical conditions in which sexual or intimate arousal is most accessible for a person.
What This Really Means
Arousal Window describes when arousal is most likely to emerge rather than how strong desire is overall.
It is closely related to Arousal Brake and Arousal Accelerator, as both influence whether conditions fall inside or outside this window.
Within a relationship assessment platform, the arousal window is identified by patterns showing optimal timing, emotional state, and context for arousal.
The concept helps explain compatibility dynamics by clarifying why arousal may feel available in some situations and blocked in others.
Examples
Arousal is more accessible during relaxed, emotionally connected moments
