In Diagnosing Desire: Biopolitics and Femininity into the Twenty-First Century, Alyson K. Spurgas examines the new science of female sexuality from a critical, sociological perspective, considering how todays feminist-identified sex researchers study and manage women with low desire. Diagnosing Desire investigates experimental sex research that measures the disconnect between subjective and genital female arousal, contemporary psychiatric diagnoses for low female desire, new models for understanding womens sexual response, and cutting-edge treatments for low desire in women-including from the realms of mindfulness and alternative healing. Spurgas makes the case that, together, all of these technologies create a feminized responsive desire framework for understanding womens sexuality, and that this, in fact, produces womens sexuality as a complex problem to be solved. The biggest problem, Spurgas argues, is that gendered and sexualized trauma-including as it is produced within technoscientific medicine itself-is too often ignored in contemporary renderings. Through incisive textual analysis and in-depth qualitative research based on interviews with women with low desire, Spurgas argues for a more radical and communal form of care for feminized-and traumatized-populations, in opposition to biopolitical mandates to individualize and neoliberalize forms of self-care. Ultimately, this is a book not just about a specific diagnosis or dysfunction but about the material-discursive regimes that produce and regulate femininity.
