When You Feel Desire… It’s Delicious.
There’s a moment — quiet, almost unnoticeable —
when you feel something stir in your body.
It could be a thought, a memory, a sudden warmth.
And almost just as quickly, a second feeling arrives:
“Is this okay?”
“Should I be feeling this?”
This is the moment we want to pause at.
Right between the spark of desire and the reflex to silence it.
Because what if there’s nothing wrong here?
What if this little wave you felt was actually a sign that you’re alive, curious, open… human?
Let’s Go Back for a Second
Many of us discovered pleasure before we had a name for it.
As kids. Playing. Touching. Exploring our bodies with innocence and wonder.
And then — someone saw.
A parent, a grandmother, a teacher.
They didn’t mean to shame us. But they did.
Not with cruelty — but with silence, a quick hand pulling ours away, or a quiet “not here.”
And from that moment on, something shifted.
Desire became private.
Pleasure became complicated.
Touch became loaded.
But This Doesn’t Stop in Childhood
Even in loving relationships, this pattern repeats.
You’re lying in bed next to your partner.
You feel a pulse of desire — for closeness, for skin, for sex.
But they’re looking at their phone. Or turned the other way.
Or maybe it’s just late, and they seem tired.
And you don’t say anything.
Not because you don’t want.
But because you don’t want to seem like “too much.”
Because rejection stings.
Because it’s easier to stay quiet than to say “I want you” and not be met fully.
So the desire folds back in.
And you roll to the other side, quietly.
We’ve all done it.
Even with people we love.
Even when we could have spoken.
So What Now?
Now… we remember.
That this body is ours.
That curiosity is not a sin.
That touch is not dirty — it’s a language.
There’s nothing you have to do.
No performance, no goal, no “fix.”
Just a gentle invitation to come back to yourself.
- To notice what you feel — without apologizing for it.
- To try — and maybe stop.
- To try again — and maybe enjoy.
Desire doesn’t demand anything from you.
It simply wants to be acknowledged.
Pleasure Is Not a Problem.
It’s a Signal.
A signal that something inside you is alive.
That you’re human.
That you’re whole.
No shame. No rush.
Just your rhythm.
You don’t need to explain why you want.
You’re allowed to feel.
You’re allowed to explore.
You’re allowed to be turned on — even if no one else is involved.
You. Here. Now.
That’s enough.
Before You Go… Ask Yourself:
- When was the last time you felt desire — and didn’t act on it?
- Why didn’t you? Was it timing? Fear? Habit?
- Whose voice stopped you — yours, or someone else’s from long ago?
And what would it take, next time,
to pause, listen, and maybe… say yes?
