Because I am a Woman

I am a graduate student studying in Worcester, MA. I am also a peer sex educator, reproductive justice activist, and feminist.

This blog is about sex-positivity, sex-ed, feminism, reproductive justice, birth justice, intersectionality, and activism.

Feel free to send me a message with your questions about sexual health, feminism, or anything else!

For more information about any of these things please check out the resources tab or leave me a question in my ask box! I would love to talk to you!

If you have anything you would like to bring to my attention or ask that you do not feel comfortable submitting to this page send me an email at: becauseiamawoman.tumblr@gmail.com

I've been having a difficult time getting aroused in general, even by myself. It's disconcerting, but I'm fairly certain that its stress related. Is that a thing? Also, the bf feels like it's him. It's not. I've been putting out once a week even though I'm not into it right now. This has never happened before. Is there any thing I can tell him to reassure him? Is there anything you can tell me? PS Love your blog :)

Being generally not turned on due to stress is so incredibly common. We all feel this from time to time. Desire also changes over time, and due to tons of other factors.

If you feel like there is something that isn’t right with your body, then by all means go see a doctor. You will know best if it feels like there is something wrong that shouldn’t be.

You can tell your boyfriend that it is perfectly natural for desire to be impacted by other factors. If its due to stress, it will pass as you relax. There will be times when you’re more into it, and times when you’re less into it. Tell him to hang in there, (and you hang in there too!) I promise it will get better!
