I wanted to share this interesting picture that displays different types of non-monogamous relationships. Non-monogamy can take many forms, and understanding these can broaden our perspectives on relationships and love. Did you know about all of them? Which ones were new to you? Cheers, Irina 🥂

New here? Let’s not be strangers. 🍉Where are you from? 🍉What brought you here? 🍉What would you like to learn/find here? 🍉Maybe one thing we should know about you? I’ll go first 👀

Not just another community. This is a therapeutic container, a space where real transformation happens. ✨ Ground Rules of Community : ✨ • No advice unless asked. we hold space, not solutions. This isn’t a place to fix each other, but to witness, reflect, and connect. • Confidentiality matters. what’s shared here stays here. If someone is brave enough to open up, that trust is sacred. Don’t break it. • Be kind, not perfect. we’re not here to impress or perform. Mistakes are part of the process. What matters is how we repair and reconnect. • Respect the energy. this is a vulnerable space, not a venting board. Feelings are welcome. Blame, projection, or spirals that drain the space? Not so much. • Consent and care come first. emotionally, mentally, sexually, always. Before you respond, before you share pause and check in. Are you adding safety or taking it away? This space is alive.Let’s create it with honesty, courage, and respect. 🧙🏻‍♀️ I will be gently guiding the space, like in group therapy. so we can all unfold, reflect, and even heal. ✨

Let’s talk about something that rarely gets discussed honestly. Male sexuality is deeply connected to vulnerability. And for many men, vulnerability is still one of the scariest internal experiences. Not because men are “emotionally unavailable by nature”. But because many were taught very early: Don’t feel too much. Don’t show weakness. Stay in control. The body remembers that lesson especially in sexual situations. When fear doesn’t show up as words Emotional fear in men often doesn’t sound like: “I’m scared to be close” or “I’m overwhelmed.” Instead, it shows up in the body 👇 — erectile difficulties — loss of desire in emotionally close relationships — avoidance of intimacy after initial attraction — compulsive sex, porn, or novelty-seeking — sudden emotional shutdown after sex These are not “performance problems”. They are nervous system responses. Why erection and vulnerability are connected 🧬 An erection requires safety. Not just physical also emotional safety. When intimacy activates fears like: — “What if I’m not enough?” — “What if I fail?” — “What if I lose control?” the body often switches from connection to protection ⚠️ Blood flow changes. Arousal drops. Avoidance kicks in. The body is not broken. It’s doing its job. Compulsive behavior as protection 🔁 For some men, vulnerability feels more threatening than distance. So sexuality becomes: — mechanical — disconnected — repetitive — focused on control, not presence Compulsive sex or porn isn’t about too much desire. It’s often about avoiding emotional exposure. Intensity replaces intimacy. Dopamine replaces connection. And over time, the nervous system learns: Sex = escape, not contact. Avoidance doesn’t mean lack of desire 🚪 This part is important. Many men who avoid intimacy or struggle sexuallystill want closeness deeply. But closeness activates old fears: — being seen — being judged — being needed — being emotionally responsible So the system pulls back. Not because there’s no desire but because there’s too much risk.

This post is for everyone here. And it’s definitely not “only a women’s issue”. Most people start thinking about fertility only when they decide to “start planning” 🧬 Until then we usually postpone. But here’s the truth: The reproductive system is a mirror of the entire organism. Hormonal balance affects: — weight — mood stability — libido — skin condition — energy levels — confidence — emotional regulation This isn’t about “biological clocks ticking” ❌ This is about resource. About long-term vitality. About living without chronic pelvic pain, hormonal crashes, erectile issues, PMS overload, unexplained fatigue. Reproductive health = systemic health. And ignoring it doesn’t make you modern. It just makes you uninformed. What should you actually do?🌝 Just be responsible. Kind reminder from me: 🤍 For women: 🌼 Book a gynecologist appointment even if nothing hurts. Once a year is basic hygiene. If you have thyroid disorders, insulin resistance, diabetes, or cycle irregularities a gynecologist-endocrinologist is essential. 🌼 Run annual screening: — Pap smear / oncocytology — Vaginal flora test — Hormonal panel: AMH, FSH, TSH, prolactin (cycle days 2–5) — Pelvic ultrasound (cycle days 5–7) 🌼 Check vitamin D and ferritin. Vitamin D deficiency and iron deficiency are common hidden causes of cycle disturbances, fatigue, low libido, and mood swings. 💪 For men: Reproductive health is not optional. 😌 Visit a urologist / andrologist at least preventively. 😌 Do a sperm analysis (spermogram). It’s not dramatic. It’s basic diagnostics if you care about future fertility. 😌 Rule out varicocele and silent infections. They are often asymptomatic but can affect sperm quality, testosterone levels, erectile function, and overall vitality. Male fertility is health. Not ego. And here’s the part schools never taught us We were taught math. We were taught history. But nobody taught us about: — hormonal regulation — sexual health — fertility preservation — nervous system impact on libido
