Conditional Desire
A desire pattern where interest in sex depends strongly on specific conditions (safety, privacy, time, mood, health, emotional connection) rather than appearing “spontaneously.”
What This Really Means
Conditional desire is often misread as rejection when it’s actually context-dependent arousal.
It’s especially common when stress is high or privacy is limited.
Reports should translate conditions into practical plans (timing, rituals, decompression) and reinforce that consent is easier when conditions are respected—not negotiated through pressure.
Examples
Desire appears on weekends but not weekdays
Needs repair conversation before intimacy
Requires privacy and enough time
Needs decompression after work first.
