Sex and intimacy

Most of us know that sex and intimacy are a part of a strong and healthy relationship. Although even in 2020, can still be a taboo topic. This doesn’t fully allow us to understand the true importance of it in our own lives and our relationships. When we don’t give it the importance it deserves, it tends to sink to the bottom our list.

At first, this may not seem like a big deal, but over time, with the loss of these two vital relationship builders, our physical connection with each other can start to fade. Intimacy is often confused with sex; however, it is a totally different aspect to physical connection. Intimacy involves emotional factors like trust, emotional connection, acceptance of one another, compassion and appreciation. It’s laying down in each other’s arms, it’s finding comfort in each other when things get bad and it’s knowing that person understands all of your heavy things without judgment.

Psych Central describes it as “deeply knowing another person and feeling deeply known. ”Improving intimacy can improve your love life, so finding that connection with your partner can be incredibly beneficial. Sex is well, sex.

Although it can be so much more passionate, exciting and desirable than just, sex. We often experience stages in our relationships, like the ‘honeymoon’ phase. When this specific phase fades out, we are left with the loss of excitement or more commonly, low libido. When we are confronted with something as universal as low libido, we feel as though there is nothing we can do to overcome it, but you may be surprised. With so many different factors, figuring out what is slowing you down may actually help you speed back up.

Mayo Clinic discusses some issues like psychological issues which can include “Mental health problems, such as anxiety or depression, stress, poor body image or low self-esteem. ”While they also list relationship issues like “lack of connection with your partner, unresolved conflict or fights, poor communication of sexual needs and preferences or trust issues. ”Whatever your reasonings are, it will be extremely beneficial for you to sit with your thoughts and determine what exactly is making you feel this way and then start the process on figuring out how to overcome this.
