Switch direction of swipes?

So I use the 3-finger swipe left and right to switch between my desktops. Am I missing something obvious, or is there not a way to switch the direction that the swipes moves the screen. In other words, if I swipe to the right, it goes to the right. However, this is opposite of the iOS environment, which many of us are used to. I want it set up so if I swipe right, it's going to go to the left, like I'm pushing that page aside. Make sense? This seems like a no brainer that it should be set up this way, or at least give us the option.
