Bigfoot and Female Sexuality: One Is a Mystery—The Other Doesn’t Have to Be 👀

Let’s start with the obvious question:
Does Bigfoot exist?
Honestly, we’re not here to answer that. But here’s what we can say: Bigfoot is shrouded in mystery, blurry photos, and late-night conspiracy theories.

And unfortunately, for a long time, women’s sexuality has been treated the same way.

We're told it’s “too complicated,” “hard to figure out,” or worse—that it’s not that important. But unlike Bigfoot, your sexuality shouldn’t be mysterious, and it definitely shouldn’t be ignored.

🚫 The Myth: “Women’s Sexuality Is Just Too Complex”

Here’s the problem: when society labels female sexuality as confusing or overly complicated, it sends the message that women should just accept an average or even unsatisfying sex life. That’s a hard no from us.

Yes, women’s sexual experiences can be complex—but that doesn’t mean they’re unknowable. In fact, research tells us a lot about what drives satisfaction, desire, and pleasure. And guess what? A majority of women in long-term relationships report being highly satisfied in their sex lives.

Translation? You can—and should—expect more from yours.

đź’ˇ The Truth: Relationship Quality Matters

Here’s one of the biggest takeaways from the research:
Good sex is deeply connected to good relationships.

That doesn’t mean your relationship has to be perfect (spoiler alert: none are). But emotional closeness, mutual respect, and open communication create the foundation for a more connected and satisfying sex life.

This isn’t just true for women. Men benefit from better relationship quality too. So no, guys aren’t just “biological beings” who only need stimulation to be satisfied. Emotional connection matters for everyone.

🤰 What About Pregnancy?

Let’s talk about another season of life that can shake things up: pregnancy.

Yes, some women experience a drop in desire for intercourse. Totally normal. But many also report an increase in desire for non-genital forms of intimacy. Cuddling, massage, slow dancing in the kitchen? Still sexy. Still intimate. Still valid.

The key is to adjust expectations, communicate often, and stay curious about what feels good for you and your partner during this time.

🪞 What Role Does Body Image Play?

Body image definitely plays a role—but maybe not how you think. It’s less about what your body looks like, and more about how you feel in it.

Confidence, comfort, and self-compassion all impact desire. You don’t need to look like a Photoshopped model to enjoy your sexuality—you just need to feel safe, respected, and present in your body.

✅ You’re Not Starting From Zero

Here’s the best news: you’re probably already doing a lot right.

Improving your sex life isn’t about going from bad to good. It’s about going from good to better. And research shows that small, consistent changes—like more intentional connection or better communication—lead to the biggest long-term results.

🌲 Don’t Miss the Forest for the Bigfoot

Sometimes we get so caught up in fixing or analyzing things that we forget to appreciate what’s already working. Your sex life isn’t a research project—it’s a part of your relationship that deserves joy, play, and gratitude.

Instead of constantly chasing the “perfect” moment (or mythical creatures), take a breath. Celebrate what is going well. Then build from there.

Your Sexuality Shouldn’t Be a Mystery

  • Female sexuality isn’t too complex—it’s just been misunderstood

  • Relationship quality is a major factor in sexual satisfaction

  • Pregnancy may shift desire, but doesn’t end intimacy

  • Confidence and body image impact pleasure

  • You’re not starting from scratch—small changes make a big difference

So no, we may never solve the mystery of Bigfoot. But your sex life?
That’s a mystery you can crack—starting today.
