Some days, your sex appeal feels MIA.
You catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, sigh, and think,
“Yikes. Maybe next week.”
Then next week shows up, and… you still feel off.

This is the part nobody tells you about: how even people who love sex, love their partner, and love themselves sometimes hit a weird stretch where everything just feels kind of... blah.

The good news? That stretch doesn’t last forever.
And it doesn’t define you.

Why You Might Be Feeling This Way

1. You’re in a body that changes. Constantly.
Maybe your hormones are shifting. Maybe your digestion’s off.
Maybe you’re just holding on to a little more water because summer’s got you salty and sunburned.
Whatever it is... bloat happens. Mood swings happen. That foggy “meh” feeling? Totally normal.

2. You’ve gotten used to a sexual routine that no longer excites you.
Sex can fall into autopilot just like dinner plans.
If it’s been a while since you tried something new, or even talked about it, your brain might be zoning out before the action even starts.

3. You’re mentally overstimulated and physically underwhelmed.
Too much screen time. Too many people needing things from you. Not enough solo joy, sensual moments, or literal fresh air.
Your body can’t turn on if it never gets a chance to turn off.

So What Now?

Here’s the part where we don’t suggest a full lifestyle overhaul.
You don’t need a cleanse, a boudoir shoot, or a spontaneous trip to Paris (though if you go, take us with you).

You just need a page turner... a small shift that reminds your brain and body that pleasure still exists and you’re still allowed to want it.

Try This Instead

Talk to yourself like someone you adore.
Instead of grabbing your stomach and criticizing, try,
“Hey, you’re doing the best you can. Let’s wear something soft today and keep it cute.” (Or, if you're a guy: “Let’s keep it chill and still look like somebody.”)
That alone can shift the energy.

Reignite curiosity before you reignite desire.
Watch a scene that excites you. Read something spicy. Try on lingerie under your regular clothes just because.
You don’t have to “get in the mood” fully... just dip your toe back into your own curiosity.

Laugh on purpose.
Watch something ridiculous. Send your best friend a wild voice note. Dance off beat in your kitchen.
Joy resets your nervous system, and pleasure lives in a regulated body.

You’re Allowed to Come Back Slowly

There’s nothing wrong with you.
There’s nothing “broken” just because you’re not feeling hot, horny, or hyped this week.

Pleasure is still available... even in stretchy waistbands, even with undone dishes, even while feeling a little “off.”

You can come back to it gently.
And when you do, it won’t just feel better... it’ll feel yours.
