In Harmony: Integrative Health Centre

Many of us spend years wondering why desire isn’t showing up more often, more strongly, or in the way we think it should.

We start to feel that it is a reflection of our strengths and failures; that having a high libido means we are winning at life and a low libido means we are failing.

But what if we flip the guilt around, and see libido as a reflection of how safe, connected, rested, playful, and at home in your body you are in a given time, and how much you are carrying hormonally, stress-wise, and mental load wise?

Sometimes a low libido really is just a reflection exhaustion, stress, resentment, grief, hormonal shifts, illness, or simply a season of life where other needs are asking to be heard first.

Rather than asking, “What’s wrong with my libido?”

Try asking:

“What might my libido be telling me about my life right now?”

You may be surprised by the answer.

Part 2: Welcome to S*x In The Real World.

I’m Amanda Dawes — co-founder of In Harmony Integrative & Functional Health Centre in Portugal, and a s*xual health & intimacy educator with over 20 years’ experience.

I’ve spent a long time having conversations people often don’t feel able to have anywhere else:
about s*x, relationships, intimacy, communication, desire, p**n, boundaries, STIs/HIV, risk reduction, menopause, changing bodies, long-term relationships, shame, confidence, dysfunction, pleasure, illness, disability, and all the complicated ways s*xuality intersects with real life.

So I decided it was time to create a space for those conversations properly.

This isn’t performative “s*x positivity,” recycled TikTok advice, or content designed purely to shock people for engagement.

It’s a space for honest, intelligent, practical conversations about s*xuality as it actually exists in the real world.

Some conversations will be educational.
Some practical.
Some uncomfortable.
Some funny.
All very real.

If you already follow , this is very much an extension of that work — just with a stronger focus on intimacy, relationships, and s*xual wellbeing.

Please like, follow, and come join the conversation.

You can also subscribe to the YouTube channel for longer conversations, interviews, education, and discussions as the project grows.

And tell me:
What topics do you want covered first?
