PS please don’t express condolences for me this isn’t about me, I’m fine! Just using my experience to reframe fire loss & support during that time

I hear a lot of “at least they survived” and yes that is always most important but sometimes dismisses the extreme distress and grief people experience when losing everything

Arousal = body’s reaction to sexual stimuli

Desire = longing to act on sexual impulses

Don’t always overlap, but when one consistently happens without the other it can be a major issue

-damaging sacral nerves can result in lessened erectile/ejaculatory function
-pinched pudendal, cavernous, or pelvic splanchic nerves can cause chronic pelvic/groin pain
-back injuries or pain can make sex, arousal, or ejaculation painful & limit arousal
-any chronic pain impacts desire

Btw biphasic sleep was a thing here & across the world for sure! But it phased out of Iceland as we industrialized, unless the job requires it
