Tips for Your Boysober Era

Because it really is that hard.

5,019 Hypes

It’s no secret that casual sex lost its allure after the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022. However, as most women have already discovered during their “boysober” era, desire doesn’t necessarily decrease. Before the event took place, however, femmes worldwide had already begun to neglect hookup culture and it even became a trend to reject it thanks to Hope Woodard’s viral “boysober” trend. The truth is though, being celibate is equally rewarding and difficult.

Here are five tips you’ll definitely need if you’re thinking of restructuring your sex life.

1. Explore partial celibacy, also known as strict solo play. Being celibate does not mean you can’t experience sexual pleasure with yourself. Practice sensual touch through masturbation or orgasmic meditation to still receive the pleasure you deserve.

2. Invest in new sex toys and sexual wellness products. Having a go-to toy is always clutch. Most women enjoy bunny vibrators or clitoral stimulators. 

3. Add more movement to your daily life. Have a dance party that doubles as a fun workout, or add a quick and efficient workout to your daily routine. This will keep your energy in flux so you can still enjoy that sex flush, without the sex.

4. Be clear about your boundaries with current intimate and romantic partners. The occasional make-out session won’t hurt — in fact, it’ll most likely make celibacy more enjoyable and sensual. But make sure you’re clear about boundaries so you don’t get carried away and disrespect them. This will help lower the risk of pregnancy, which you’re strategically trying to avoid.

While you’re here, explore these daily habits for self-love and self-pleasure.
