This essay examines how female sexual desire is expressed in Lisa Taddeo's novel Three Women (2021). The theoretical framework consists of work by Emily Nagoski, Eugenia Cherkasskaya, and Margaret Rosario along with John H. Gagnon and William Simon. By introducing behavioral science, sociological- and psychological theories such as Nagoskis's different messages, Gagnon and Simons's sexual script as well as Cherkasskaya and Rosario´s sexual subjectivity and self‐objectification, I seek to audit the connection between the concept of sexual desire concerning the three protagonists in Three Women. The purpose of the essay is to examine how Taddeos characters in Three Women relate to female sexual desire and consider how it works in relation to society, culture, and norms. The thesis was written using thematic research to examine female sexual desire as the beginning point. When reading, I followed a late-twentieth-century hermeneutic method with the selected work as the focal point. The results of these studies indicate that social and cultural norms have an impact on the character's sexual desire. Nagoski's messages have an autonomous and shifting effect on women's sexual desire. The sexual script of Gagnon and Simon demonstrates that the women in the book have an internalized idea of what sexual desire should be and that by failing to follow it, they are influenced by external and internal difficulties. Sexual subjectivity and self-objectification, as defined by Cherkasskaya and Rosario, are strongly linked to sexual desire and have an impact on the characters´ perceptions of their bodies and sexuality.
