In our society, sex is often at the forefront of our minds, yet reality frequently intervenes, pushing intimacy to the back burner. Before long, those romantic moments become delightful surprises rather than regular occurrences. While you may not know when your next rendezvous will happen, here are 10 unmistakable signs that you won’t be getting lucky tonight:
- Your toddler just had a monumental diaper disaster, and your cat decided to join in the chaos by jumping on the bed and knocking over a glass of water. Trust me, a messy house is not the mood enhancer you need when things start to heat up.
- You emerged from the bathroom and felt the need to share your latest beauty revelation about unexpected hair growth. While all relationships evolve, this sort of “growth” isn’t exactly what you want to discuss during a romantic evening.
- After binge-watching a series where your beloved characters met gruesome ends, it’s hard to feel frisky when you’re still reeling from the shock. Mourning characters is not exactly the prelude to passion.
- You’re decked out in that oversized charity shirt, stained and comfy, paired with mismatched socks and yoga pants you found in the laundry pile. You might as well wear a sign that says, “Not in the mood.”
- Your partner’s ex just liked every photo of him on social media that features just him. Instead of focusing on tonight, you’ll be preoccupied with critiquing her questionable choices and poor emoji usage.
- You thought dessert was a good idea after a heavy pasta dinner, but now you’re in the grips of a serious food coma. Who wants to engage in any physical activity when you feel like a stuffed turkey?
- You just had a 20-minute debate over his vague response to a simple question about his day. Letting him in your pants now would feel like conceding in a discussion you’re not even sure about.
- Your mother-in-law made a cheeky comment to her husband, and now you can’t shake the mental image it conjured up. You’ll be too busy battling that picture to think about anything else.
- The phrase “how do you know when to lance a boil?” just escaped your partner’s lips. Time to retreat to separate corners of the house for a while—maybe even Google some medical advice.
- Your period is about to start, and he’s still traumatized from the last time he didn’t see it coming. While he may enjoy thrillers, he prefers them on screen rather than in his bedroom.
So, grab your mouthguard, slather on some coconut oil, and dive into a good book, because tonight is definitely not the night for intimacy.
