“Passion Over Perfection”

Sex with anxiety is like trying to make a smoothie in a blender with the lid off—things will get messy, and that’s kind of the point.

Why Push (Gently) Past the Comfort Zone?

Avoiding what scares you feels safe, but it also gives your anxiety a megaphone. Every time you dodge saying what you want, or leave the lights off like you’re plotting a crime, your nervous system decides, “Yup, intimacy is dangerous.”

Try the opposite. Small “oh sh*t” moves. Leave the lights on for two minutes. Ask for that kiss the exact way you like it. Touch differently just to see what happens. Think of it as exposure therapy… but hotter. Every tiny rebellion against fear is a win.

Passion is the Best Excuse

Here’s the thing: you don’t need a 12-slide PowerPoint to justify why you want to try a new position. Passion doesn’t care about your nervous system’s pro-con list. Passion kicks the door down and says, “I’m here, let’s get weird.”

And honestly? “I was in the moment” is the best excuse you’ll ever have. Nobody’s fact-checking you mid-makeout.

Takeaway: From Nervous to Nourished

The next time anxiety whispers, “What if I mess this up?” try answering back: “What if messing it up is the fun part?”

Because in the bedroom, “wrong” doesn’t exist. There’s awkward, sure. There’s “oops, I kneed you in the thigh.” There’s “wow, that angle wasn’t it.” But none of that is failure—it’s flavor.

So loosen the grip, laugh at the mess, and remember: sex isn’t about performing—it’s about playing.
