The Dual Control Model of Sexual Response reflects the idea that sexual response in individuals is the product of a balance between excitatory and inhibitory processes. An ever-growing number of studies show that these two systems operate somewhat independently of each other and that their sensitivities vary from person to person. The researchers liken it to having both a gas pedal excitation or SES and a brake pedal inhibition or SIS in a car - every person will engage one or both pedals to a differing degree in any particular sexual situation, depending on their unique sexual physiology, history, and personality. Using these questionnaires, researchers around the world are applying the Dual Control Model to better understand such complex issues as sexual difficulties, sexual compulsivity, sexual aggression, and high-risk sexual behaviors. Prior studies have found that while sexual inhibition plays an important protective role in reducing sexual responses in the face of threat or danger, individuals who have high levels of inhibition might be more vulnerable to developing sexual problems, and those with low levels of sexual inhibition may be more likely to engage in sexual behaviors that put themselves or others at risk.

I would come back from one of our weekends together and they would ask how it was and I would talk about how amazing it was and what all we did. If I just assume he won't be home to eat dinner with us, it's a happy surprise when he is. I've found it extremely difficult particularly as he does not know how to communicate. A lot of what you say about Support was what I expected to find in residency.
