In the experiments where women had sexual arousal responses to pretty much any depiction of sex one theory (expressed by John Bancroft who does much of the research on human sexual behaviour)is that 'sexual arousal' in females ie vaginal lubrication, is an evolved self-protective mechanism. The theory is that in the presence of sexually aroused males females may be forced to copulate whether they choose to or not. So the female may not want to copulate so she has no conscious sexual arousal but unavoidable copulation may then be injurious due to ack of lubrication. The body has therefore evolved to have the lubrication - the phyiscal readiness - without the actual desire. A kind of protective stress arousal.
I'm not sure but I seem to remember that vaginal lubrication can/does occur in stress situations.
It is something which needs considering. And especially so when lack of lubrication and vaginal injury is required for rape accusations to be taken seriously in the first instance.
That's a great point. It puts an interesting perspective on the rather condescending claim that "women disconnect between the objective and subjective".
No sir, that woman was not "in denial about her sexual desire". You were just scaring her.
