                                            Let's be honest: American society is running on stress. The headlines, the drama, the never-ending anxiety—it takes a huge toll on your capacity for desire and intimacy.
Your brain views stress as a threat, and when you feel threatened, sex is simply not a priority. We hear you! It’s easy to put your sex life on the back burner when the world feels like it's on fire, but here's a therapeutic truth: Intimacy begets more intimacy.
Even if you don't feel "in the mood," connecting physically can be one of the most powerful and effective ways to reduce stress, reconnect with your partner, and pull yourself out of that anxious loop.
The key to keeping your sex life alive during stressful times is often intention. You wouldn't skip a meeting with your boss, so why skip a vital connection with your partner? Sometimes, the most romantic thing you can do is treat your sex life like any other important commitment: schedule it! Putting it on the calendar ensures you prioritize the pleasure, connection, and stress relief you both deserve.
