Intimate and sexual resolutions 2026: choose yourself, reconnect and blossom

There's something magical about the start of a new year. We take stock, turn the pages... and often promise ourselves to dobetter. Eat better. Move more. Slow down.

But what if, in 2026, we added a resolution that's all too often forgotten: take care of your intimate and sexual life - whether you're in a relationship or single.

Not to perform. Not to compare yourself. But to reconnect with yourself, with your partner, with pleasure and complicity..

Why make intimate resolutions?

Because intimacy is a pillar of well-being. It influences confidence, self-esteem, communication and even stress levels.

With everyday life, children, work, mental workload and routine, it's normal for desire to fluctuate. Making an intimate resolution is simply saying:

"My emotional and sexual life deserves attention too."

Intimate resolutions 2026 for couples

To help you, I've written a list of concrete, simple and realistic resolutions, designed to fit in with real life (work, children, fatigue included).

1. Put connection before performance

Concrete resolution: prioritize closeness at least 3 times a week.

This can be :

• a 5-minute cuddle with no sexual objective
• holding hands
• kissing for longer than usual

Objective: recreate a climate of security and desire, without pressure.

2. Break the routine (without revolutionizing everything)

Concrete resolution: change one element of your intimate routine per month.

Examples:

• try a new time of day
• change the atmosphere (light, music, smell)
• try something new, even something very simple

Objective: get off automatic pilot.

3. Better communicate your desires and limits

Concrete resolution: have one intimate discussion a month.

Possible questions:

• What would you like more of?
• What would you like to try this year?
• What makes you feel wanted?

Objective: normalize conversations about sexuality.

4. Reconnect as a couple, not just as parents or roommates

Concrete resolution: schedule a couple's date every 4 to 6 weeks.

It doesn't have to be complicated:

• dinner at home after the kids go to bed
• coffee outside
• telephone-free evenings

Objective: to nurture emotional complicity.

Intimate resolutions 2026 for singles

Here I offer you resolutions focused on self-knowledge, respect and personal pleasure.

Being single doesn't mean putting your intimate life on hold. On the contrary, it's a great time to rediscover yourself.

1. Reconnect with yourself

Concrete resolution: take a weekly moment to explore your body and its sensations.

This could be :

• learning what you really like
• discovering new ways to relax
• learning about intimate well-being

Objective: develop a healthy relationship with your own pleasure.

2. Redefine what you really want

Concrete resolution: write down your relationship needs in black and white.

For example, write down

• what I will no longer tolerate
• what's non-negotiable
• what makes me feel respected

Objective: make more aligned choices.

3. Explore without pressure

Concrete resolution: to allow myself to try something new in 2026.

This could be :

• an intimate well-being product
• an educational reading
• an open discussion with someone you trust

Objective: break taboos at your own pace.

A common resolution: benevolence

Concrete resolution: stop judging yourself.

• accept that desire fluctuates
• respect your limits
• move forward without comparison

Kindness is often the key to a more fulfilling intimate life.

Whether you're in a relationship or single, the best intimate resolution for 2026 remains the same:

Be gentle with yourself.

Libidos fluctuate. Needs change. And so it should.

Intimacy isn't a race, it's a journey.

In conclusion

In 2026, what if we stopped seeing sexuality as an embarrassing or secondary subject?

What if we saw it instead as :

• a source of connection
• a space for exploration
• a way of taking care of ourselves and each other

And you, what would be your intimate resolution for 2026?

To take time. To dare more. To communicate better. Or simply listen to yourself.

It doesn't matter which one, the important thing is that it's you. 💛
