A “s*x drought” doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It just means your body might respond a little differently for a while; physically and emotionally.
1) Your desire can go up… or down
Libido isn’t a “constant.” Stress, fatigue, mental load, relationship dynamics, hormones, and even sleep can shift it. Sometimes a break makes you feel more curious; other times it makes you feel disconnected or just not in the mood. That’s normal. 
2) Spontaneous er****ons can still happen
Erections don’t always mean someone is “in the mood.” They can happen randomly or during sleep, and that can be completely normal. 
3) Vaginal dryness can happen (especially if arousal is low)
Vaginal dryness is common and can be linked to hormone changes, certain meds, pregnancy/breastfeeding, menopause—but also simply not being aroused enough in the moment. 
4) The first time back might feel… different
If you’ve been on a break, your body may take longer to “warm up” physically, or you may notice sensitivity changes. That doesn’t mean you’re broken—it often just means your body needs time and comfort to feel safe and ready again. 
5) When to check in with a nurse/doctor
Get medical advice if you have ongoing dryness that doesn’t improve, pain, unusual discharge, bleeding after s*x, frequent UTIs, or persistent er****on problems. 
G***t LoveStyle reminder: Sexual wellness is health. Whether you are in a busy season (hello, hustle + life) or intentionally abstaining - your body deserves gentleness, not judgement.
