The 5 Natural Stages of Sexuality Nobody Talks About: From Rest to Transcendence

Have you ever felt disconnected from your sexuality and wondered if something was wrong with you? Or experienced moments so profound words fail to capture them? According to sexuality experts Leah Piper and Dr. Willow Brown, these experiences aren't just normal—they're essential parts of everyone's sexual journey.

In this transformative episode of the Sex Reimagined Podcast, Leah and Willow break down a surprising truth: our sexuality naturally moves through five distinct stages—Rest, Healing, Adventure, Learning, and Transcendence. Understanding these stages can revolutionize your relationship to pleasure, intimacy, and self-acceptance.

The Truth About Sexual Cycles

"Nothing is worse for recapturing your sexuality than judging the fact that you're not connected to your sexuality," shares Leah Piper, Tantric Sex Master Coach. Our relationship with sexuality naturally ebbs and flows—there is nothing to fix when your desire takes a break. Nature has seasons, and so do we.

Stage 1: Rest 💤

Rest shows up during times of caregiving, career focus, or deep personal development. Rather than fighting this period, Leah and Willow encourage honoring rest as an interval for renewal—and releasing shame about lost libido or lower desire.

Stage 2: Healing 💖

Pleasure can be the healer. Emotional releases, sexual healing, and vulnerable connection transform old wounds into new strength. This stage can be raw, beautiful, cathartic—and sometimes the most pleasurable moments are the most healing. “Healing can be pleasurable, not just cathartic,” shares Willow.

Stage 3: Adventure 🌈

When curiosity ignites, adventure begins. This could mean trying new things, exploring fantasies, or attending workshops—sometimes just experimenting in your mind with stories or new learning. These adventures bring brave self-discovery and the sweet reward of expanded capacity.

Stage 4: Learning 📚

Deep dives into new erotic wisdom change us at a core level. Whether it’s embodied learning (like discovering Tantra, Taoism, or kink), or mastering a new technique or understanding your psychology, the learning stage expands pleasure and self-awareness.

Stage 5: Transcendence ✨

Transcendent sex lifts us into mystical, awe-filled states that remind us of our deepest possibility. "It's very mystical in nature. Some might say sacred or spiritual. It has a sensation of almost unworldliness," says Leah. Whether spontaneously arising or cultivated through breathwork, these experiences blur the boundaries between body, spirit, and universe.

Important Reminders

• These stages are not linear—you can flow through more than one in a day, or stay with one for years.
• There’s no “right” or “wrong” stage. All are valid and necessary.
• Embrace curiosity, ditch judgment, and honor your current experience.
