“If you’re going to be someone who is interested in intimacy, you have to be accepting of your body as it is. If you’re going to be capable of doing that, you have to forge a kind of meaningful self acceptance and self compassion.”
Good body image = good sex. Bad body image = bad sex.
It’s really that simple.
Because it’s never about our bodies. It’s about how we are measuring our self-worth AND the meaning we have placed on our bodies as an extension of that self-worth. That measurement affects all areas our lives, including our love lives.
Want to know more about why that is and how to change it? Listen to my podcast interview with Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife on how we can get in better tune with what really matters—our minds and our souls—and by extension, improve both our body image AND our intimacy.
