“Frigidity is desire imagined by a woman who doesn’t desire the man offering himself to her. It’s the desire of a woman for a man who hasn’t yet come to her, whom she doesn’t yet know. She’s faithful to this stranger even before she belongs to him. Frigidity is the non-desire for whatever is not him.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
