Pendant longtemps, la sexualité a été réduite à une ligne droite, simple et binaire. Dans cet épisode, nous revenons sur les premiers modèles scientifiques, de l’échelle de Kinsey aux travaux de Storm et Galupo, qui ont tenté de cartographier nos désirs et nos attirances. Mais ces cadres, s’ils permettent de mieux comprendre et de nommer nos expériences, ont aussi leurs limites. Entre intensité du désir, attractions romantiques, et premières réflexions sur l’asexualité, explorons ensemble comment ces modèles façonnent — ou enferment — notre compréhension de la sexualité.
