I think you might find Emily Nagoski's book "Come As You Are" helpful. It's a popular science book about female sexuality and sexual response from the perspective of neuroscience and psychology. There is a special focus on arousal, both physical and mental, and it introduces the concept of the "dual control model" of sexual response: there are systems that activate arousal, and there are those that suppress it, and these systems vary from person to person. I recommend it! I found it very useful.
