What is "lovemap"

n. A mental conception of one's ideal lover and sex life.

''Not to be confused with the love maps in The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work.''

A lovemap is a person's internal blueprint for their ideal erotic situations. The concept was originated by sexologist John Money in his discussions of how people develop their sexual preferences. Money defined it as "a developmental representation or template in the mind and in the brain depicting the idealized lover and the idealized program of sexual and erotic activity projected in imagery or actually engaged in with that lover."
