So it starts with a couple of “not tonight”s.
Then maybe a week. A month.
And before you know it, sex is… just not part of your life anymore.

And it’s not that you’re broken.
You’re just not into it. Like, at all.

Cue the scary thought that creeps in around month three:
“Wait… what if I never want sex again?”

You’re Not Alone in This Freeze-Dried Feeling

First of all, this happens. More often than people admit.

Low libido isn’t always a quick blip on the radar... it can stretch out, hang around, and start feeling permanent.
Especially when:

> You’re dealing with stress or burnout

> There’s unspoken tension in the relationship

> You’ve stopped doing things that make you feel alive and attractive

> Or your body’s changing and you’re adjusting to a new normal

This isn’t about laziness, lack of love, or even lack of attraction.
It’s about your body and mind trying to protect themselves from more input when they’re already overloaded.

It’s Not Always a Medical Issue... Sometimes It’s a Life Issue

You don’t need to race to Google “low libido cures” at 2 a.m.

(But if you do… hi. We see you.)

It’s helpful to look at the full picture:
Are you exhausted all the time?
Are you touched-out by kids, caretaking, or overstimulation?
Have you lost the why behind sex... not just the how?

It’s okay if the idea of sex feels like adding another to-do.
It’s okay if your body isn’t responding the way it used to.
You’re not the only one wondering, “Will this part of me come back?”

It can.
But first... you have to stop fighting yourself about where you are now.

Give Yourself Permission to Pause Without Panic

Here’s the truth most people won’t say out loud:
Desire is not a constant.
It ebbs and flows. It seasons. It sleeps. It wakes up.

Your sexuality isn’t gone... it might just be under renovation.

So instead of panicking, try this:

> Talk about it - with your partner, a friend, even yourself. Say the thing you’ve been scared to say: “I’m worried my libido is gone and I don’t know what to do.”

> Get curious, not critical - What else feels good right now? What else connects you to yourself?

> Redefine intimacy - It doesn’t have to start with a bang (pun intended). Shared laughter, kindness, non-sexual touch… these are all ways back in.

You don’t need to schedule a seduction this weekend.
You just need to know you’re not weird, alone, or broken.

Low Libido Isn’t a Life Sentence

You’re still you.
Even if the sexy part feels far away right now.

With compassion, curiosity, and sometimes a little help (hey, tea can work wonders), desire can return.
Often when you least expect it.

So if you're sitting with a big “Not tonight” energy lately - give yourself grace.
There’s nothing wrong with needing a longer intermission.

Your spark didn’t disappear.
It’s just offstage doing a costume change.
