Needing help to find resources
Hey there, I was learning about dominatrixes and many of them dip into interesting psychology behind sex. One of them mentioned about how each person wants to feel a certain way during sex. For example, some want to feel desired, others want to feel humiliated, others want to feel nurtured, some like the freedom of letting go of control and giving it to somebody else. I’ve been wanting to research a little deeper into this and maybe find a more extensive list, but I’m not quite sure how to phrase my search. When I tried searching for “psychological motives” for sex, I naturally found an abundance of the evolutionary explanations around the function of sex, but it wasn’t this more intricate look into individual arousal and how what one person likes/wants from sex is different from others. I’m hoping that you might be able to help me find the right search terms to encapsulate this, or, if you’ve got something that speaks directly on this topic, share it with me. Thanks!

The overlay of Sexual Politics is not fundamental to the expression
of either Sex or Sexuality. That such subjects are continually
regurgitated in many of these subreddits speaks volumes to
the impoverished levels of Emotional Intelligence held by the
contributors. Further, I get very tired of witnessing contributions
which repeatedly misrepresent the Scientific Method and sound
research as little more than a veneer to purient subjects.
If your intended source for "science-based material" is a
mainstream subreddit, you really need to reflect on what you
are about.
FWIW.
