Feelings about sex are very individual and can vary from person to person.
For many, sex can arouse positive feelings such as lust and desire, joy, enjoyment, excitement and love.
Sex can also arouse negative emotions that can arise for several different reasons. Each individual has their own background and their own experiences, which often form the basis for the emotions that arise during sex. Many people feel nervous and insecure, especially in a new relationship, which can negatively affect both the sexual experience and self-confidence. Performance anxiety is a common feeling where there is a fear of not performing according to the partner’s expectations. Performance anxiety can often make sexual function such as erection ability, premature ejaculation, lubrication or orgasm ability more difficult. This in turn leads to frustration and more negative emotions. Stressful life situations such as work-related stress or relationship-related problems can negatively affect sexual desire. Guilt and shame are common feelings around sex and are often deeply rooted in norms, upbringing and family values, previous sexual experiences, body image and self-esteem.
Sex is a natural part of life for most people and affects one’s well-being. Having feelings about sex and having sexual needs is normal. Giving yourself time and space to understand and process your feelings is important for one’s well-being.
