When Desire Feels Far Away

Low libido can feel like a quiet ache — not just for physical intimacy, but for closeness, playfulness, and connection. Many women start wondering, “What’s wrong with me?” when desire fades. But in truth, low libido is rarely a sign of something being broken. It’s usually your body’s way of saying, “I need safety before I can open again.”

Stress, exhaustion, hormonal shifts, and emotional overload all influence our sexual energy. When the nervous system is in survival mode, desire shuts down — not because you’ve lost it, but because your body is protecting you.

The first step isn’t forcing it back. It’s listening. Learning to relax the body, nourish your system, and rekindle a sense of curiosity about what feels good for you.

At Temple, we believe desire is not something you fix — it’s something you reawaken. Our courses guide you back into your body through science-based education and somatic practices that help rebuild safety, connection, and the capacity for pleasure.
