"Milestones, such as turning 30, do have a way of drawing our attention to our life's direction and larger context, and other subjects that put us more in our minds than in our bodies."
"If you feel the same pressure to perform being OK with your boyfriend as you do with, say, co-workers or strangers, do consider whether that lack of freedom to be human and require support might be part of what's preventing you from feeling open to sexual interaction with him."
Milestones like turning 30 can lead to existential reflections that impact intimacy. Acknowledging changes in sexual interest is important. Communicating with a partner about feelings can foster support. The pressure to maintain a facade of having everything together may hinder openness to intimacy. Exploring these feelings can help in reconnecting with sexual desire and improving the relationship dynamic.
