The emotional communication and symbolic language together with the intellectual skills and social development produced a qualitative change: the transformation of sexual intercourse into sexual relation. Sexuality could then be taught, regulated, repressed or overvalued. It has also strong social conditionings and become interrelated to each individual emotional experience.The sexual desire is exposed to multiple interferences: - starting at the fetal period going to the neuroendocrinal balance - family relation - sexual and affection bonds - moral and religions rules - early personal sex experiences - sexual attraction - passion experiences- hormonal balance - and the partners. In summary the sexual desire is a consequence of the physical, psych, and the health. That is why it individual has its own sexual desire and behavior. According to Masters and Johnson (1997), in spite of the importance of establishing a practical model showing the sexual desire components it will never capture the subtle aspects that distinguish lust or passion from other sexual desire types. Eroticism is a multi faced process thought which our inborn sexual desire is reshaped suppressed or overvalued. The erotic model or the shape of the desire contents will be assembled though conscientious or non conscientious, subtle or explicit messages, connected to each individual affective/ sexual experiences. The end result of the above factors will shape, the form, the intensity, and the desire manifestations possibilities (latent, fantasized, explicit or consummated).
