In this episode, we'll peek at why desire shifts after 40, and the neuroscience of "responsive desire" — how dopamine, anticipation, and being desired (not just desiring) drive arousal. We'll talk about why fiction can help build these pathways on purpose, and why it's a tool for your real relationship, not a replacement for it.
