Desire Intensified: The Power of the Erotic Equation in Pursuing Passions

The "erotic equation" is a theoretical concept that proposes that the elements of attraction and obstacles can intensify desire. It can be summarized as follows:

 

Attraction: This is the initial interest or inclination towards a person, object, or goal. It's the spark that draws your attention and begins to pull you in.

 

Obstacle: This is some form of barrier or challenge that stands in the way of your attraction. It can be an external factor, like distance or circumstances, or it could be an internal factor, like fear or insecurity. The obstacle adds a layer of complexity and intrigue to the situation.

 

Desire: This is the intensified attraction that results from the interplay of attraction and obstacles. It's the pull that makes you want to overcome the obstacle and achieve or possess the object of your attraction.

 

In the context of interpersonal relationships, this equation can often explain the "forbidden fruit" phenomenon, where someone becomes more attractive if they are seen as off-limits or unattainable. But this equation can also be applied to non-romantic scenarios such as personal goals and passions.

 

To use this equation in everyday life for your passions, consider the following steps:

 

Identify your attractions: This could be anything from learning a new skill, pursuing a hobby, achieving a fitness goal, or succeeding in a career aspiration. What are the things that pique your interest and draw you in?

 

Recognize the obstacles: Identify the barriers that stand between you and your attractions. This could be time constraints, financial barriers, lack of knowledge or skills, fear of failure, or any other challenges. Recognizing these obstacles is crucial because it gives you something concrete to work towards overcoming.

 

Cultivate your desire: Embrace the obstacles as a part of your journey towards your passion. Instead of getting discouraged by the barriers, use them to fuel your desire. The obstacles make your goals more worthwhile, and overcoming them can bring a great sense of achievement and satisfaction.

 

For example, if you're attracted to the idea of writing a book but the obstacle is lack of time or fear of criticism, instead of seeing these obstacles as roadblocks, view them as challenges to overcome. The desire to write and share your story becomes stronger, driving you to find time, improve your writing skills, and overcome your fear of criticism.

 

The "erotic equation" thus becomes a useful tool in understanding how obstacles can enhance our desire and commitment towards achieving our passions and goals
