…made my nature rise 

…made my nature rise — a past tense description of one’s self having had your psyche confronted by a person, event, timing or situation P.E.T.S. that brings out an unknown aspect of your personality.

The experience is most likely caused by interacting with another person; but, events, timings and situations can also make you discover aspects of yourself.

The precipitating cause can be a structures; broken boundaries; acquisition of power or it’s relinquishment; love or hate; clear articulation of a desire; or, deep self-honesty. Once the behavior has become concrete this new information about yourself must be integrated into your personality.

This phrase entered popular culture during the first disco era between 1972 and 1976 through the Four Tops Song: Catfish, a dance track about a woman with whom dancing — and by extension sex — was really enjoyable. Part of the refrain was “…Catfish makes my nature rise”.

Nope — no sexual overtones there! Subtlety was not a watchword of the 1970’s.
Here are ways of using “…made my nature rise” in a sentence:

1) Being in danger made her nature rise. She did not think of herself as heroic but when she was menaced in the streets, she was able to fight off her attacker and leave identifiable makes on his face that led to his capture.

2)Being in the water had always made her nature rise; but, it had never consciously occurred to her that having sex in a hot tub with the possibility of both being seen and heard would bring out the “YEP!!!!” in her, Now every time she smells coconut oil her skin gets warm.

3) Being tied up made her nature rise. She did not consciously think of herself as “submissive” but when she found herself hogtied over a barstool helpless, passive, flogged and probed; she learned something new and unexpected about herself.
