She suggests starting with compassion for others to build that muscle before turning it inward.

I have a question about this episode SEX RECESSION: The Dangers Of Modern Dating & Why NOBODY Is Having Sex Anymore | Emily Morse and this clip Embracing Sexual Wellness. I'm currently exploring my sexuality more deeply, especially around the topic of solo sex. I’ve noticed that lately my masturbation habits have become quite fast and stimulus-driven, using erotic AI-generated stories and a silicone sex toy. While these can be very arousing, I often find that I’m not really present in my body and that I climax very quickly, sometimes after just a few thrusts. I’ve also felt that my orgasms have lost intensity and don’t feel as fulfilling as they used to. At the same time, I have a strong desire to develop a healthier, more mindful connection with my body and my sexual energy – one that involves awareness, self-acceptance, and genuine pleasure through touch, not just release. I really resonate with the term “solo sex” – not just as a means of orgasm, but as a form of sensual, nourishing self-love. I’m looking for guidance on how to increase my sense of pleasure, deepen my orgasms, and build a more balanced, loving sexual practice with myself.
