female desire

Her romantic yearning

Female desire is sexual or romantic wanting experienced by women.

The phrase often appears in contexts exploring how women's sexuality has been understood, repressed, or represented: The novel centers on female desire in Victorian England.

In clinical and popular psychology, female desire is frequently discussed as distinct from male desire—more responsive to context, less spontaneous, though such generalizations are contested.
