“I don’t know what I want.”
“I’ve never really felt comfortable with sex.”

Maybe you’ve spent years avoiding these questions because it felt too big, too scary, or too shameful to explore. Maybe sex has always felt like something you “should” do, rather than something you genuinely want to experience.
Or maybe you’ve felt disconnected from desire, unsure how to even begin to find what feels true for you.
You’re not alone if you’ve never had a clear grasp on what sex means to you.
And it’s never too late to discover your own relationship with sexuality, pleasure, and desire.

Many of us grow up with mixed, confusing, or shaming messages about sexuality. Cultural, religious, or family beliefs may have taught you to disconnect from your body and desires. Past experiences may have taught you that pleasure isn’t safe, that your needs don’t matter, or that sexuality is something to fear or avoid.
For some, this leads to performing during sex without truly feeling present. For others, it means avoiding sex altogether, living with quiet discomfort and unanswered questions.
Not knowing what sex means to you is not a failure—it’s a sign you’re ready to explore what you truly want and need.
