At home, you barely think about sex. Then you go away for a few days and suddenly your libido reappears. So what changed? ...Probably NOT your hormones, your attraction to your partner or the tiny shampoo bottles in the hotel bathroom. What changed was the context.
In this episode of Turned On, Lydia explores why desire can feel accessible on vacation and disappear again the moment you return to normal life. She breaks down how the constant background hum of responsibility, distraction, exhaustion and sexual pressure can keep your brakes on—even when you love your partner and technically have time for sex.
You’ll learn about the Dual Control Model of sexual response, why adding more turn-ons isn’t always the answer and how chronic stress can make it difficult to shift your attention away from everything you’re managing and become absorbed in pleasure.
Because vacation may not be making you wildly hornier. It may simply be removing some of what was getting in the way.
Rather than trying to recreate vacation sex with another high-pressure date night, Lydia shares the questions that can help you understand what your everyday environment is asking from you AND what had to disappear before your desire could show up again.
Your libido may not be inconsistent. It may be responding very consistently to two completely different sets of conditions.
