Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

Can’t Stay Present During Sex? Here’s Why


Listen Later

How often do you find yourself zoning out during sex? One moment you’re fully present, the next, you’re mentally sorting laundry, overanalyzing your stomach, or wondering if your partner is actually enjoying it. It happens. A lot.

In this Language of Love Bite, I break down why this happens, what’s going on in your nervous system and why even a hint of unease can make it so hard to stay turned on. I also share a quick, powerful exercise from my book Sex Magic to help you reconnect with your body. It takes less than three minutes, and you can do it solo or with a partner.

In this Bite, you will discover: 

  • Why your brain checks out during sex

  • How anxiety hijacks arousal and how to reclaim it

  • A quick way to come back into your body

  • How to shift from pressure to sensation

  • A simple 3-minute exercise (from Sex Magic) to snap back into your body, quiet your mind, and shift from pressure to pleasure

    Ready to unlock deeper pleasure and power? Grab your copy of Sex Magic and dive into transformative insights that awaken your sensual energy. While you're there, don’t miss out on the free Quantum Sex Course  designed to elevate your intimacy levels.
