It happens like this...your partner comes home, walks up behind you and wraps their arms around your waist.
You immediately tense up, you hold your breath, and the thought storm begins...
“Why are they touching my stomach?!"
"F*ck...they're gonna feel all my fat”
“I wish my body wasn't so gross”
Your body recoils and you move away.
“What's wrong?” they ask.
"Nothing" you say in an abrupt tone.
They back away and you both go about your business only you're now feeling frustrated, have a head full of negative thoughts, and feeling so disconnected it hurts.
Sound familiar Reader? 😕
It sucks to feel like you can’t relax in your body, especially at times that you want to feel connected to your person.
Your relationship with your body will 100% influence how you receive affection and your overall satisfaction with your intimate life.
Remember, s/x is body based. 🙆♀️
If you struggle with how your body looks or feels, you will probably want to avoid s/x or any activity that might lead to it.
Things like touching, hugging, or kissing might bring up a ton of anxiety about having to have s/x. Even flirting might feel dangerous because it might lead to them seeing your body naked and exposed.
Negative body image is not uncommon. To be consciously embodied can feel impossible because it requires you to love and respect your body.
And that my friend is not always easy.
But here’s the thing, your body is yours and yours alone.
Take responsibility for YOUR relationship with YOUR body
When you take responsibility for your relationship with your body you shift your s/xual experiences.
When you have a loving relationship with your body, you are able to listen to it more clearly, be more open to sharing with others, and having boundaries that feel true to you.
