Question

Rachael was happily married to her husband for 28 years until his death two years ago. recently, she has developed a lesbian relationship with marta, who is also a widow. both are very happy and sexually satisfied in this relationship. rachael and marta's relationship is an example of ________ in women.

Answer 1

Rachael and Marta's relationship is an example of "erotic plasticity" in women.

Erotic plasticity is how much one's sex drive can be altered by social or surrounding factors. Somebody has "high erotic plasticity" when their sex drives can be influenced by situational, social and surrounding impacts, while somebody with "low erotic plasticity " has a sex drive that is generally unbending and unsusceptible to change. Like in this case the death of her husband can be a factor joined by others in developing a lesbian relationship.
