“I joke about it so they don’t feel rejected.”
“I joke about it so I don’t have to explain myself.”
“I joke about it because saying I feel broken feels worse.”

Sometimes that joke is doing a LOT of work.

Because underneath it is
Feeling pressured
Feeling broken
Feeling like you’re constantly disappointing your partner

Calling it “low libido” is often safer than saying...

• I feel pressured every time se x comes up
• I’m scared I can’t meet their needs
• I miss wanting se x, but I don’t know how to get back there

A lot of people use humor to get through the discomfort of wanting se x less than their partner and quietly worrying they’re not enough.

If that’s you, nothing is broken. Humor helps you survive. But it can also keep the real conversation from happening.

Does this feel familiar? Or do you use humor to get through intimacy stuff too? 😬

Starting se x can feel scary sometimes. 😅
Maybe your heart races, your mind spins, or you worry about being rejected. That doesn’t mean you or your relationship is doomed. This is super normal.

Here are a few things to try next time:
✨ Notice the nerves without judging yourself
✨ Take a minute to calm your body
✨ Ask your partner what feels good instead of pushing for an outcome
✨ Remember touch, cuddling, and connection all count

Small steps = real closeness. 💛

Being a se x and couples therapist means I spend my workday asking thoughtful questions and holding a lot of nuance.

Being off the clock means I have very little patience for the idea that low desire is “just part of getting older” or “something you learn to live with” 😅

Most of the time, desire doesn’t disappear. It goes quiet when connection, safety, and real conversations keep getting pushed to later.

If you’re in your 30s or 40s and your relationship feels like logistics, schedules, and a quick peck before bed…you’re not failing and nothing is wrong with you.

That feeling when the spark finally comes back after a long dry spell 🕺🐈

Not because you forced it
Not because you scheduled it harder
But because something shifted

Six month dry spells don’t mean your relationship is doomed or that your libido disappeared forever.
They usually mean life got loud, connection got thin, and s*x got pushed to the bottom of the list.

Desire doesn’t respond to pressure.
It responds to safety, novelty, feeling wanted, and actually enjoying each other again.

If you’re waiting for “the moment” to magically return
There is work you can do to help it along and it doesn’t involve pretending you’re broken

Curious why desire disappeared and how to rebuild it without forcing it?

Let’s be real, “exciting plans” don’t always mean a night out or a vacation. Sometimes it’s just carving out a few uninterrupted minutes to reconnect with your partner without distractions, schedules, or screens.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone and it doesn’t mean your relationship is broken. It just means it’s time to nurture your connection and prioritize intimacy again.

As your favorite se x and couples therapist, I can confirm that those little moments ARE exciting plans. 💌

A gentle holiday season intimacy check-in 🤍

This time of year can quietly impact desire, connection, and how close we feel to our partner. More stress, less privacy, and higher expectations can make intimacy feel heavier or farther away than usual.

If things feel different right now, it doesn’t mean something is wrong with you or your relationship. It often means your nervous system is doing its best in a demanding season.

This carousel is an invitation to slow down, get curious, and check in with yourself without pressure or shame. You don’t have to force intimacy for it to matter...safety and understanding come first.

Save this for a quieter moment, and follow *xualwellness for realistic, se x-positive guidance on intimacy, desire, and connection especially when life feels like a lot. 💛

My holiday wish list isn’t about doing more or trying harder. It’s about letting intimacy feel easier, safer, and more human again.

Most couples I work with don’t need fireworks every night. They want to stop feeling pressure. They want to stop overthinking every touch. They want to feel close without it turning into a test they’re afraid to fail.

These wishes aren’t unrealistic. They’re what happen when intimacy is built on safety instead of performance, curiosity instead of avoidance, and connection instead of obligation.

If any of these are on your wish list this year, you’re exactly who this space is for.

Somewhere between work stress, kids, schedules, and exhaustion…
se x stopped feeling spontaneous.

Then it stopped feeling easy.

And eventually, it started feeling like pressure.

If you and your partner care deeply about each other but feel more like roommates lately, you’re not broken, and you’re definitely not alone.

Most couples in their 30s and 40s aren’t lacking love.
They’re lacking space, safety, and support to reconnect in a way that actually fits the season of life they’re in.

Se x therapy isn’t about forcing desire back.
It’s about understanding what shut it down and learning how to rebuild intimacy that feels natural, mutual, and satisfying again.

✨ What’s on your holiday wish list this year?

We’re currently accepting new clients in IL, IN, ID, LA, KS, and FL.
