This is the energy we’re going for—joyful, unbothered, fully in your body. Like swinging on a warm day, mid-laugh, without a to-do list in sight.

So, what’s the link between orgasms and parenting?

Orgasms flood your system with dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins while sropping cortisol (aka stress hormone). That shift helps you stay grounded, present, and—let’s be honest—less likely to snap when your kid asks you why for the 400th time.

If you’re parenting on fumes, pleasure might be the nervous system reset you didn’t know you needed.

Parenting doesn’t come with built-in reset buttons. But pleasure? That’s a damn good one. A regular orgasm practice can shift you from overwhelmed and reactive to calm and emotionally available.
You don’t need a 3-hour tantric ritual. Sometimes five minutes and a locked door is enough. Solo or partnered—it all counts.

They do. And this is also about choosing yourself in a world that keeps asking you to prove your worth. When you prioritize pleasure—and not just sexual pleasure—you show up more fully for yourself and your kids.
