ABSTRACT

This chapter explains how the emotional quadrant of the 4-D Wheel incorporates a full range of the feelings associated with sexual experience, such as longing, love, caring, and passion—whatever touches the heart. The emotional quadrant is where clients bring into therapy sessions whatever lies heavy on their hearts. Their sexual explorations here often center on some aspect of desire or loss of desire. Neuro Update #14 addresses how love, rejection, perceptions and emotions have an intrinsic effect on sexual experience, with reference to Helen Fisher.
