The Rise of Multitasking and Its Impact on Sexual Presence
Many individuals today struggle to be fully present during sex due to the rise of multitasking in their daily lives. The constant engagement with technology and social media contributes to split attention, making it difficult to transition into the singular focus required for pleasurable sexual experiences. In a world where people are often trying to juggle multiple tasks simultaneously, it becomes challenging to clear one’s mind when entering intimate moments. The speaker emphasizes the need to practice slowing down and disconnecting from external distractions to help individuals better connect with their bodies during sex.
