Unsatisfying sex leaves us feeling inadequate, unloved, and disconnected. You may be fed up with sex feeling like a chore rather than fun and pleasure-filled, feeling like your relationship (with yourself or a partner) has gone stagnant or feeling disappointed, sad, and lonely. You might be wondering how it even got this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to reconnect with yourself and your partner. You’re ready to have pleasure-filled and fun sex. Most of all, you’re ready to embody your authentic sexual self.
