The Cost of Pretending Perfection on Your Bedroom Performance

from Libido Lounge · host Dr. Diane Mueller

Hearing your partner say you’re the BEST sex they’ve ever had… isn’t that the dream? And with that thought, you map out your game plan. How to give the _perfect_ blowjob? How to be a _perfect_ kisser? How to look _perfect_ in the bedroom? This is perfectly normal. When it comes to sex, we have absorbed the conditioning that as a female it’s our duty to study the art of sex and be exceptional at providing pleasure AND receiving it… sometimes at the cost of our own sexual needs and authenticity. This can lead us down a rabbit hole of anxiety, overthinking, and (wink) fake orgasms – which are all the opposite of sexy. In today’s episode, we’re unpacking how sexual perfectionism develops, the harm it can bring to your sex life and body image, and how to reclaim your sexual confidence in the bedroom.
