Did you know you can experience burnout from sex? 🧠🔥

Yes — even too much pleasure can fry your nervous system. And we’re finally coming back to talk about sex again. 💋

Most people associate burnout with overwork or toxic relationships — but you can also burn out from things that were amazing.From great sex, deep connection, emotional intensity, endless travel, or even too much transformation in too little time.

It happened to me.

There was a period when sex in my life was intense, healing, powerful — it opened up parts of me I didn’t even know existed.And then… I hit a wall.

Suddenly, I felt numb. My body stopped responding the way it used to. I didn’t want touch. I didn’t want closeness. I felt drained — and confused.Nothing was wrong. But my body said “enough.”

🔬 Science has a name for this: sexual burnout. It happens when the nervous system becomes overstimulated by pleasure hormones like dopamine and oxytocin.Without proper recovery, your system gets overwhelmed — and instead of craving intimacy, it shuts down.

For women, this might look like:

• emotional detachment

• drop in libido

• irritability or tension around sex

For men:

• emotional numbness

• avoidance of intimacy

• physical or mental fatigue after sex

It’s not a pathology.

It’s a signal: your body needs rest, integration and slowness.

Just like a muscle after a heavy workout, your sexuality also needs recovery.

💬 Have you ever felt emotionally tired from something that was “supposed” to be good?
