đŻď¸âPassion Over Perfectionâ
Sex with anxiety is like trying to make a smoothie in a blender with the lid offâthings will get messy, and thatâs 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 youâre plotting a crime, your nervous system decides, âYup, intimacy is dangerous.â
Try the opposite. Small âoh sh*tâ 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
Hereâs the thing: you donât need a 12-slide PowerPoint to justify why you want to try a new position. Passion doesnât care about your nervous systemâs pro-con list. Passion kicks the door down and says, âIâm here, letâs get weird.â
And honestly? âI was in the momentâ is the best excuse youâll ever have. Nobodyâs fact-checking you mid-makeout.
Takeaway: From Nervous to Nourished
The next time anxiety whispers, âWhat if I mess this up?â try answering back: âWhat if messing it up is the fun part?â
Because in the bedroom, âwrongâ doesnât exist. Thereâs awkward, sure. Thereâs âoops, I kneed you in the thigh.â Thereâs âwow, that angle wasnât it.â But none of that is failureâitâs flavor.
So loosen the grip, laugh at the mess, and remember: sex isnât about performingâitâs about playing.
