The article emphasizes the lack of understanding therapists have regarding sexual desire, particularly in recognizing what enhances or diminishes it. While professionals can address various issues affecting desire, such as body image, guilt, and relationship dynamics, there remains a significant gap in knowledge about reigniting completely suppressed desire. It suggests that therapists should focus on uncovering internal and external factors that repress desire and creating a supportive environment to help individuals restore their sexual curiosity and interest.
