pontaneous desire (you see an attractive person in the street and go “I’d like to lick that person like a lollipop”)
I'd never seen a distinction drawn between spontaneous and responsive desire before. That's really interesting.
(I absolutely agree that spontaneous desire is treated as desire, no qualifications, the real thing, full stop. It's one of my major arguments with the terminology of demisexuality and its folding into the ace spectrum, as if only "I want to lick that like a lollipop on no prior acquaintance" counts as full sexuality.)
