There are exceptions to this, of course. 💕

And being open to our beloved's feedback is also sooo very important.

However, receiving constant unsolicited feedback from our partner is often a passion killer and a resentment builder.

Oftentimes, there are multiple pathways to reaching the same goal...
..and, by allowing each other to stay true to our unique ways...
..we get to ensure we don't lose ourselves in the relationship...
..or create distance and disconnection just to try and preserve our autonomy.

And, instead, we get to maintain true, genuine closeness...
..where we can be ourselves AND be together. 🥰

This is just a little loving reminder: save your feedback for the things that matter the very, very most...
..they will then be able to hear those best of all.

Sending much love and support -- always!

Many people don’t realize how common it is to fake or***ms and more importantly, why it happens.

Often, it’s not about deception, but about:
• Avoiding conflict
• Protecting a partner’s feelings
• Feeling pressure or shame
• Struggling with arousal
• Wanting intimacy to end sooner

These patterns tell us something important: communication, safety, and pleasure matter.

If you’re finding yourself in this cycle, you’re not alone and there are ways to explore intimacy that feel honest, connected, and fulfilling.

🚩 A red flag in relationships most people overlook:

Pay attention to how someone responds when you express a need or set a boundary.

If your honesty is met with defensiveness, jokes, minimization, or guilt instead of curiosity and care, that’s not a small thing—it’s information.

Healthy relationships don’t require you to shrink to keep the peace.
They make space for honesty, even when it’s uncomfortable.

✨ Your needs are not the problem.

✨ Intimacy isn’t the absence of conflict—it’s the courage to stay honest through it.

“Intimacy is not closeness without conflict—it’s connection that survives honesty.”
— Dr. April Brown, Doctor of Intimacy

Real connection isn’t about avoiding hard conversations. It’s about feeling safe enough to be real, even when it’s uncomfortable.

💬 What does honesty in intimacy look like for you?
