What is sexual desire (libido) compared to arousal?!
Question: I've been trying to understand this for the past few weeks now. I've been self conscience about my feelings and desires for once and I really don't understand myself. I never put too much thought into it until now.
Anyhow, I noticed that I think of sex often but I'm not aroused all the time. I mean, I could be crabby and that's why. Then my day gets a lot better when I talk to my girlfriend and I get "awoken" by her but my arousal is really nothing like compulsive need to satisfy myself; like the sound of her voice just gets me going only if she is happy. I can get a good stiff one and maybe rub my crotch a little... but it passes as I get preoccupied with crap at work. I noticed that at home my desire increases. But I still don't understand. If I'm not thinking about it and I get aroused just by looking at stuff, is it the same? Or is it a forced thing and really I could have a low libido but can get aroused a few times during the day and orgasm 5 times one day?

Owh okay.. hehe.. libido is a different thing... (from what i understand) okay... elaboration base on the terms:
Sexual disire, is a kind of a feeling of wanting something particularly about sex (like how you decorate the art of your own sexual satisfaction) or how sex make you feel pleasant the most... it is subjective to one's perspective on sex itself...
arousal, is the state where your body reacts accordingly to sexual or induced sexual stimuli; such as the sensation of a warm breast of a hot women rubbing your back..
libido is the state of your mind entering the or enjoying sexual stimulation or, sexual immaginary that is dependence on self-induced act... like you are playing a tape of porn movie in your head made you turn on or entering the state of arousal...
cheers
