The 3 Reasons Why You’re Probably NOT Having Lots of Sex During COVID
Why You’re Not Having More Sex During Quarantine (Even Though You’re Home Together)
Understanding Low Libido, Relationship Burnout, and Emotional Disconnection
You’ve been home more this past year than ever before.
No more late-night meetings. No endless birthday parties or school pickups. You and your partner are under the same roof 24/7... so why does sex feel like it’s disappeared?
When quarantine first hit, a lot of couples imagined a cozy, connected vibe—slow mornings, more cuddles, maybe even a sparkier sex life. But here’s what actually happened:
Our nervous systems got overloaded.
Our identities blurred.
And the space where desire used to live got crowded out by Zoom calls, exhaustion, and survival mode.
Desire doesn’t live in burnout. It needs room.
Room to feel like you. Room to want, not just to cope.
So if you’ve been feeling off—disconnected from your body, your partner, your spark—this isn’t a failure. It’s a totally human response to an ongoing crisis.
In the video below, I break down three big reasons your sex life might feel stalled right now—and why that makes total sense. No shame. Just real talk, neuroscience, and a few gentle truths to help you breathe a little easier.
