* I don’t like to use such binary language in writing about sex and desire. Particularly when it comes to brains and genitals and their interactions, there is such a massive range of experiences, preferences, gender identities, body types, brain types, and so on that it feels disingenuous to me to pretend as if “male” and “female” are the only two categories upon which to draw. Unfortunately, the vast majority of scientific inquiry into these matters so far has broken subjects of study down in these binary terms, focusing on the experiences of cisgender (people whose gender identity doesn’t conflict with the genitals they were born with) people with fairly typical sexual function. I hope that changes soon, because there is so much to be learned from the rest of the wide world of human sexuality!
