When we share an intimate moment with someone, we are (literally) laid bare. To feel completely at ease and free, we need to get past our hang-ups, especially our insecurities. How can we forget about these little details that matter so much to us? Here is our advice.
Focusing on what we love about ourselves 🫶
"Do you know about positive thinking? By trying to focus all our attention on what we appreciate about our bodies, it becomes easier to forget what we like less. The bonus: highlighting those parts even more with light and shadow effects, gold lingerie for example."
Focus on sensations 👄
Breathing, caresses, scents... engage all 5 senses and live the moment mindfully. You can also play with deprivation, by blindfolding your partner, for example.
Choosing your partner wisely 🤗
When we feel confident, it's much easier to let go of our inhibitions and lose ourselves in the moment. Choose carefully the person you decide to share your bed with, and remember to communicate as much as possible to create a safe and reassuring atmosphere, more conducive to letting go.
Of course, this advice won't make your insecurities disappear. The idea is to learn to be kinder to yourself and to accept yourself as much as possible, so you can feel free and fully enjoy these moments of sharing.
