Once again, I have to re-emphasize that I don’t really fully understand what this article wants to tell. From my understandings, it is about desire and eroticism which can be a 18++ topic, but it is just written in a more philosophy way.
From what I got after reading the article, architecture is about desire, seduction and eroticism which is quite sensitive to some of us. According to the article, architecture is full of desire from its representation, seducing through the design of facades and details, and eroticism due to the concepts and space.

In an easier way to understanding, architecture is just like a beautiful, gorgeous and hot lady which is so attractive to the guys. Every posture and movement she does will attract the guys’ sight and get their attention on her. The posture and movement is the representation of architecture which provides desire to people. It encourages people to get in it and to experience.
And yet the façade and details of the architecture can be well-showed by the clothes and accessories put on the lady. Short and tight clothes will fully show the nice body proportion of the lady and the accessories will bring out the taste of the lady too. It goes the same to the architecture. Those façade and details will show up the taste of the buildings and how pleased it is too.

On the other hand, the eroticism is the most sensitive and subjective part. It is hard to define. Somehow it depends on how people think. It really can’t satisfy everyone but just for majority. For an example, the pretty young gorgeous Mexico lady is the Miss Universe now. However, there may be a crowd of people not agree with the results, but the lady convinces the judges and majority of people to get the champion. The same application goes to architecture. The concepts and spaces may not satisfy everyone but it succeeds for majority. For an example, the Birdnest in China is so impressive for most of the people around the world but some of the local people just don’t appreciate it.
Why do certain spaces appear to prohibit sexual desire while other spaces encourage desire?
For my understanding, the world is full of contradictions. There is something obviously that we can’t do, but some people make it happens. For example, a football competition should provide fun to audients who are watching it. But somehow the result may disappoint them. So there comes out with different extreme feeling in a simple thing. It goes the same to architecture spaces. For examples, toilets, hostels or even mosques providing male and female division due to privacy and prohibit sexual desire, but somehow the red light district means the opposite way. These are the contradictions exist on our world.

Is this a property of space itself or an order superimposed upon buildings?
Desire means a lot in everything. For design, it has its importance too. When a designer designs a space or a building, he/she will firstly consider what the feeling he wants and the client want and what he want his client to experience in the space. For an example, disco should be having the dimmed lighting rather than a bright lighting system which doesn’t make sense. And for a hospital, dark colours are not suitable for the design too. For this field, desire means feeling and the sense of taste of the building or architecture. Or another way of saying, it could be the experience in the space.

What is the relationship between sex, place, and the bodily libido?
In my mind, functions derive the relationship between sex, place and bodily libido. Generally, some goods are designed for male whereas some are for female. And some are for everyone. Agree, right? In architecturally, spaces have the same aim too. There are some spaces for someone with some specific function as well. For an example, a male toilet is mainly designed for a male to piss. It goes the same to other spaces, such as surau (mosques), hostels, fitting room and others. Besides, there are some spaces designed for public which sex are not the main consideration but to attract the crowd to that space. For examples, shopping malls, gardens, vacation destinations and etc.
