How Body Image Affects Intimacy and Self-Confidence

In a world flooded with filtered bodies and unrealistic ideals, it’s no surprise that body image issues can creep into our sex lives.

When you don’t feel good about your body, it’s hard to feel free in intimacy.
You might shy away from certain positions, dim the lights, or even avoid sex altogether.

How to build body-confidence:

• Shift the narrative from “How do I look?” to “How do I feel?”

• Compliment your body for what it does, not just how it looks.

• Talk openly with your partner. Loving partners will always reassure you.

• Try mirror work: Look at yourself lovingly and affirm your worth, even in small doses.

Your body deserves love—even in its most vulnerable form.
