You can keep avoiding, hoping and waiting for a change 👇
But nothing shifts until you do💙

I can guide you, support you, teach you. But I can’t do it for you🫶

At some point, you have to decide⬇️

Do I actually want this to change? Because if the answer is YES then change will happen but you also need to know that it takes conscious effort and won't just happen.

What’s one thing you’re willing to do differently? ➡️💙

You don't feel s€×y because you are disconnected from your body and yourself 👇

You can’t access desire and feeling stunning if you’re exhausted, in your head or disconnected from your body 💙

Desire isn’t something you wait for. It’s something you build through ⬇️
🖐 touch (not s€~×ual at first)
🦥 slowing down
💫 removing pressure

There’s still resistance around using toys in relationships and "replacement" angst 😕

Have you heard: “But shouldn’t my partner be enough?” OR "Am I not good enough for you?" 🙄

Here's the truth, toys are not about "replacing" a partner. They're about supporting your body or enhancing your connection.
For a lot of women arouz@l takes longer, stimulation needs are specific, climax doesn’t happen easily through pen3tr@tion alone 💙

So instead of feeling frustrated, pressured, thinking something is wrong, use something that helps and actually works.
That’s not a problem!

And when couples use toys together it often improves connection not taking away from it.

Be honest are you open to using toys together, or does it still feel weird? ⬇️

When the message comes later in life, it can feel awkward 🙉 Especially when that message comes from someone who never spoke about this stuff when you were growing up! 🤯

It can feel weird because you didn’t grow up with body awareness, pleasure education or open conversations.
So now you’re trying to “learn” something that should’ve been normal all along🙋‍♀️

It’s not the toy, it’s the disconnect. That takes time to rebuild but you can do it💙

And yes, your mum is telling you about it now, because she's been there,done that, and now she's living her s€~×ual liberation and wanting you to avoid her struggles 🤔💃

Does this feel familiar?

Psst have you met Tease from Love.my FEELS 😉

14/05/2026

Ok here's the thing...⬇️

Tools and toys don’t fix what you won’t talk about. If your partner avoids the conversation, that is the problem 😢

You have to start there with that awkward, open and honest conversation about how you can positively move forward🤯

Not with a purchase. Although, depending on your partner sometimes the purchase can help pave a way for the conversation 😉

Are you avoiding the conversation too?

For more advice or help send me a DM ➡️💙

Stress 🔪 desire and arousal. Not permanently, but very effectively 😢

When your nervous system is in fight, flight, freeze mode s^x becomes irrelevant.

Because your brain is thinking "survive first, pleasure later” 🧐

So no… forcing yourself into IT won’t fix it.

You need safety, space to come down, and time to regulate your mental capacity. Then desire can actually show up again.

Do you notice your desire drop when life gets full? 💙

Men do self-pleasure more on average than women ➡️ And YES this is a generalised statistic like all research there are exceptions 💃

But it’s not because they “need it more”🙉

It’s because they were and still are allowed to🤯 Women weren’t taught or given permission when they were young and still feel that same disconnect as they age😪

Men learnt it's normal, stress relief and fun.
Women learnt it's shameful and naughty, but if you do it don't talk about it and hide it.

So this isn’t about frequency, it’s about conditioning

Did you grow up with shame or openness around this? Let me know 👇

10/05/2026

Okay… and how’s that working out for your mental health?

Because what I see is ⬇️
Exhaustion
Resentment
Disconnection
Feeling touched out but also untouched

You don’t stop being a woman because you became a mother 💙

And intimacy isn’t just about sx it’s about feeling desired, connected and like you still exist 🫶

Waiting until you “have time” means it will never happen. It has to be intentional.

Mums be honest. When was the last time you felt desired? ⬇️

07/05/2026

Short answer? No. Long answer? Let's see below ⬇️

G3nit@l fireworks are localised, faster and more direct

Full body fireworks involve breath, tension and the nervous system, build over time, are less about chasing the finish line

The problem is…women are being sold the idea that one is “better”...I mean how often have you heard also about squirting being the best?!🤦‍♀️

But it’s not. If you’re chasing full body experiences but can’t access basic arouz@l yet, you’re skipping steps. if you are short on time but really need a release then a localised firework is going to be your go-to.

Start where your body is and expand from there.

Not everything has to be spiritual to be valid, both options have their pros and cons.

Which one do you experience more easily? 🫶

During the menopause transition, one of women's biggest complaints is about changes to their O 💥 feeling different.

Less intense, needing longer to build-up, and sometimes even then it seems impossibly out of reach 🤔

And most women go straight to: “What’s wrong with me?”

Nothing. Your body just needs more time, potentially more or different stimulation, less pressure, and potentially V oestrogen or a review of your hormones for a suitable balance.

Comment “READY” if you want to learn how to rebuild and enjoy yourself because you still have lots of enjoyment left! ⬇️

04/05/2026

Yes! Mutual solo play is a thing! 🤯

And more couples should be using it🙉 Because you won’t always want s'× at the same time. That’s normal!

Instead of one person feeling rejected and the other feeling pressured, you can stay connected, remove performance and actually learn what turns each other on 😉💃🔥

And let’s be honest, watching your partner enjoy themselves without pressure on you? That can be a huge turn on!😛

This is what flexibility in an intimate life looks like.
