Desire is historical, its origin and its adventures matter, and this is so even when the origin is falsified by the culture or be internal pressures of substitution and concealment. There is something like a primal scene of desire, usually in early childhood when the imagination is so vividly engaged that its fantasy is found to be more real than reality; and hence its direct connection to intimacy. Of course there are different desires and different, although far fewer, origins. Re-experiencing the origin of a desire weakens it, so desire itself paradoxically desires the forgetting of its source.
