Spontaneous Arousal
Spontaneous Arousal refers to sexual or intimate arousal that arises internally and without an obvious external trigger or prior stimulation.
What This Really Means
Spontaneous Arousal describes arousal that appears before interaction or context rather than in response to it.
It is often discussed alongside Responsive Arousal and Sexual Desire to explain differences in how arousal timing is experienced.
Within a relationship assessment platform, spontaneous arousal is identified through patterns where desire or arousal precedes emotional or physical engagement.
The concept helps explain compatibility dynamics by distinguishing internal arousal patterns from relational responsiveness.
Examples
Arousal emerges without direct physical or emotional cues
Desire appears before intimacy is initiated
A relationship report highlights differences in arousal timing between partners
