The Truth About Pleasure: It’s Not a Luxury, It’s a Lifeline

Share This Post

Pleasure is a Birthright, Not a Reward

Somewhere along the line, women got the message that we have to earn our pleasure.
Get all your work done.
Take care of everyone else first.
Be good. Be productive. Be responsible.
Then — and only then — can you take a bubble bath, rest, read a spicy book, or enjoy something just because it feels good.

But here’s the truth:
Pleasure isn’t a luxury. It’s fuel. It’s medicine. It’s your birthright.

You don’t need to prove yourself worthy of it.
You don’t need to hustle for it.
You don’t need to feel guilty for wanting it.

Pleasure — whether it’s sensual, playful, nourishing, still, or wild — is a pathway back to your body, your power, and your truth.

It awakens something fierce in you.
It restores your nervous system.
It reminds you that you’re alive — not just functioning.

If you only let yourself have pleasure after everything’s done, you’ll be running on fumes.
Instead, what if you flipped the script?

✨ Use pleasure to energize you before a big meeting.
✨ Use it to center you in the chaos of motherhood or deadlines.
✨ Use it to reconnect to yourself when you feel numb, snappy, or overwhelmed.

Pleasure isn’t a prize for good behavior.
It’s a birthright you get to reclaim — no apologies, no permission needed.
