really hit home for me. I used to think that lasting longer in bed would automatically make sex better. But when I got to that point, I found myself wondering why it still felt empty. It was like I had solved one problem only to uncover a whole new set of issues. The pleasure seemed fleeting, and I started dreading the process because it felt more like a task than an intimate experience.
One thing that helped me was redefining what "pleasure" meant. I used to think it was all about the orgasm, but now I try to focus on the sensations, the connection with my partner, and the journey itself. Sometimes, just lying in bed with someone, kissing, and exploring their body can be more fulfilling than the main event. It sounds simple, but shifting my perspective made a huge difference.
Another thing I’ve noticed is that overthinking kills the mood. When I stopped treating sex like a performance, I started to relax and enjoy it more. I’d remind myself that I didn’t have to be perfect or follow some unwritten rulebook about what makes sex great. Everyone’s preferences are different, and the most important thing is to focus on what feels good for you and your partner.
Lastly, don’t hesitate to seek help if you feel stuck. A sex therapist can offer insights that you might not think of on your own. I went to one for a few sessions, and it really helped me get out of my own head and approach intimacy in a healthier, more fulfilling way.
