Devotion is the New Sexy
By Dieke ter WeelÂ
Â
âCome, letâs go and offer this to nature,â he said.
He was referring to the small cup with our juices in it.
Yes, you are reading that correctly, and yes, you are imagining that correctly. And yes, I would have been kinda weirded out myself if I had read this somewhere years ago â but also intrigued.
Fast forward to now, where this is just a ânormalâ thing we often do after love-making. So, letâs continueâŚ
We had just made love â the kind of love-making that feels beyond words. I had melted into pleasure, my body opening again and again, waves moving through me. He eventually came too, and yes⌠we collected those juices.
Afterwards, we rested in silence, letting our bodies and energy settle. No words were needed.Â
Then we walked outside and offered this elixir to one of our favorite trees.
We set an intention.
What we are calling in.
What we are creating â individually and together.
Remembering what truly matters in life, in love.
Because when we make love like this⌠something shifts.
We transform.
Life becomes more magical. More alive.
Things start making sense again â not from logic, but from a deep place in the body and spirit.
And yetâŚ
Iâve also felt the resistance to this.
Because it requires openness. Vulnerability on a soul level.
And the mind? It finds that terrifying.
So often, it feels easier to let life take over.
To let intimacy slip into autopilot.
Especially after that initial phase of being in love. You know the oneâŚ
Where everything is exciting, alive, electric.
And then things settle.
Which is beautiful in its own way â less insecurity, more calm, more stability.
But slowlyâŚ
You get busy.
You build careers.
You manage life.
You love each other â but you feel the drift.
Conversations become logistical.
Intimacy becomes irregular.
Small frustrations remain unspoken.
And over time, tension buildsâŚ
In what isnât said. In what isnât touched. In what isnât truly seen.
And then before you know itâŚ
Sex starts to feel like a chore.
Another thing on the to-do list.
Maybe you recognize thisâŚ
Wanting to âget it over with,â so you can move on â and not be bothered for a few days.
Ignoring his advances.
Pretending to be asleep.
Saying you have a headache because you donât want to say no directly.
That subtle cringe in your body when he touches you in a way that feels⌠predictable.
Maybe even exaggerating your pleasure⌠Just so it ends faster. Just so the focus isnât on you anymore.
Iâve been there.Â
Otherwise, I wouldnât be able to describe it like this.
And then intimacy starts to feelâŚ
Hard.
Awkward.
Or simply repetitive.
You know exactly whatâs coming.
He knows what you like. You know what he likes.
Same movements. Same sounds. Same pattern.
Presence fades.
Intention disappears.
And whatâs missingâŚ
Is devotion. Is the sacred.
Devotion is the new sexy.Â
Because itâs here that something shifts again.
You remember that your partner is more than just the roles of daily life.
That your relationship holds depth. Meaning.
Through honoring each otherâŚ
Expressing gratitudeâŚ
Acknowledging the relationship itselfâŚ
You create emotional safety.
And a sense of reverence.
And when you start treating intimacy â sex â as something sacredâŚ
Something special happens.
You begin weaving together what seem like opposites.
The raw and the tender.
The wild and the still.
The physical and the spiritual.
And in that weavingâŚ
You create something new. Every time.
Letâs clear something up
Thereâs a big misconception here:
That âsacred sexâ means it becomes slow, serious, overly spiritual.
That you have to sit in some tantric position the whole time, chant, make weird sounds, or do things that feel far away from who you are.
And noâŚ
It doesnât mean you have to offer your juices to a tree either đ (Although⌠it can be beautiful in its own way.)
What it does meanâŚ
Is that you drop the goal. But connect to an intention.
You let the truth between you guide the experience.
And that can look like many things.
Sometimes itâs hot, passionate, juicy, full of energy and multiple orgasms.
Sometimes itâs slow, soft, almost still.
Sometimes itâs deep presence without even moving.
Sometimes itâs laughter.
Sometimes itâs emotion.
Sometimes itâs simply sitting next to each other, in silence.
It goes beyond penetrative sex.
Sometimes it includes it.
Sometimes it doesnât.
Sometimes itâs in devotion to you.
Sometimes in reverence to him.
And hereâs the thingâŚ
This is far more simple â and grounded â than you might think.
Most couples donât lack attraction or love.
They lack structure for devotional connection.Â
Thatâs why we created the Couple Connection Method.
A simple, yet deeply transformative four-step ritual that guides you:
From stress â into presence
From autopilot â into intention
From assumptions â into honest communication
From talking â into embodied intimacy
This method meets you exactly where you are.
If youâre already feeling connected and âjuicy,â it deepens and expands that.
If youâve been feeling distant, it gives you a gentle, pressure-free way back to each other.
No pressure.
No performance.
No âweird tantric workshopâ energy.
Just something real.
Something grounded.
Something that works.
 Weâll be guiding you through this method during the upcoming Bridge Couples Online Event (March 29th).Â
Weâll show you how simple, natural, and deeply powerful it is to bring devotion back into your relationship.
Into your connection.
Into your intimacy.
