Why You Can’t Enjoy Sex When You Hate Your Body 2026

Описание: How many times has body insecurity stopped you from fully enjoying intimacy?

In this episode, we explore Not Tonight Dear, I Feel Fat, a powerful and compassionate sex-positive guide for women who struggle with body image, self-consciousness, and shame during sex. This book addresses a truth many women live with but rarely say out loud: you can’t relax into pleasure when you’re busy criticizing your body.

Rather than focusing on techniques or performance, this book gets to the real issue — how thoughts, shame, and self-judgment block desire, arousal, and emotional connection. It challenges unrealistic beauty standards and helps women reclaim intimacy by learning to feel safe, present, and confident in their bodies — exactly as they are.

In this video, we explore:

Why body image anxiety shows up most intensely during sex

How self-criticism shuts down desire and pleasure

The connection between shame, vulnerability, and intimacy

Why confidence is more important than “looking perfect”

How to feel desirable without changing your body

Practical mindset shifts that support better sex and connection

Reclaiming pleasure after years of insecurity or silence

This episode is especially for:

Women who avoid sex because of body shame

Those who struggle to relax or stay present during intimacy

Long-term partners feeling disconnected or inhibited

Women healing self-worth after comparison, trauma, or criticism

Anyone who wants great sex without hating their body first
