10 Latinx Dating, Relationship, & Sex Experts To Follow On Instagram

Instagram doesn’t just supply an endless stream of memes, Insta Stories, and cute dog pics. As well as following your friends and fave celebrities, there are tons of experts who use their accounts to offer inspo and info to their followers. Maybe you’re looking for ways to boost your dating confidence. Perhaps you want to develop healthier relationships and have more satisfying sex. In honor of Hispanic Heritage month, which runs from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, I’ve rounded up some Latinx dating, relationship, and sex experts on Instagram that you should def give a follow.

For Latinx individuals, hearing from professionals who are also Latinx can feel incredibly validating, as those experts can likely better understand and relate to your personal experiences. Of course, non-Latinx people are not excluded from following any of these experts. IMO, it’s more important than ever to diversity your resources and listen to other perspectives, and the relationship and sex therapist community on IG has a ton of knowledgable Latinx experts you can and should follow. Whether you’re seeking actionable advice or just some positive vibes about dating, relationships, and sex, these 10 IG accounts from Latinx professionals should be added to your feed.

The “don’t settle” narrative makes me roll my eyes. Let’s stop encouraging perfectionistic ideals. Why? Because we are all fundamentally imperfect. ALL of us. These expectations are hurting our relationships because they literally shape our experience of our partners. Therefore, we have to let go of our assumptions and focus on a different narrative for love, intimacy, and the relationships we seek. ⁣ ⁣ The unrealistic expectations come from a variety of places. We are all anxious about being unsatisfied and unhappy. We believe that happiness is something deserved and often rely upon others–particularly our adult partnerships–to make us happy. This isn’t wrong – just part of the cultural story of love. People often believe that there is a person and a relationship that will make us feel understood, seen, cared for, desired, and so on. Essentially, a relationship that will shield us from pain and disappointment. That belief is the expectation that we have learned throughout our lives. But, not everything we learn is actually helpful. ⁣ ⁣ Instead, I encourage people to think about the good enough relationship or good enough partner. That means allowing for your partner—and you—to have limitations. Inviting collaboration in your relationship to work through those limitations and negotiate differing needs. ⁣ ⁣ I’m not suggesting that you have no expectations at all. And I’m certainly not talking about cases of abuse – there are essential ingredients like kindness, respect, trust, and safety. My focus is less on how you are treated by your partner(s) and more on the relationship itself. ⁣ ⁣ It’s up to you to define what “enough” means. I’d invite you to shift away from the belief that your partner should fulfill you entirely. Because they can't and when they disappoint you, it will sour your love, create ambivalence, and disconnection.⁣ ⁣ Start learning how to hold on to the parts of your partner you cherish during times of disappointment and conflict. See if you’re able to honor their imperfections whilst feeling satisfied by their strengths. This is one of the hardest parts of relationships but the most rewarding. Start practicing.

⁣When potential clients call me, there’s always this hesitation on whether or not they should bring in any or all sexual partners. My answer is always: ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ?What are your goals in #sextherapy? ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ?Are you looking to explore with a partner(s)? ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ? Do you need a safe place to question your sexuality? ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ? Do you have (a) partner(s) currently?⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ? What is it you believe you should focus on? Does it involve other people you’d feel comfortable brining to session? If not, why? ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ And those questions are just the tip of the iceberg. ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ So at the end of the day, my clients get to decide what the best course of action is and we figure that out together. ⠀ @samantha_heuwagen

Hard time setting boundaries? Give me a ??‍♀️ if you don’t want this in your life anymore. • The reason why you're having a hard time setting boundaries is because the person who abused you or the person who was just controlling af was the only one allowed to set them. • Whenever you tried to set boundaries that person would make sure to to take away your right to set them and even punished you for it. • If this feels foreign to you, it's because it is . You were made to think/feel you didn't have a right to choose or say no. • It is you who has to break up with that pattern or maybe even that person who's currently pushing to cross your boundaries. It is in your control to clear whatever karmic agreements you've made in this life or in the last for it to dissipate on a soul level. • Even if you break up with the person in your life, it does not go away, the pattern that is. You have to examine those patterns internally why it's coming back in other forms in different people and how those patterns contributed to that sort of energy exchange to take place. • Does this sound like you? What do you think is the reason for continuing these patterns? • • • • #boundaries #relationship #relationships #family #familydynamics #patterns #nomoretoxicpeople #narcissist #energy #sovereign #sovereignty

One of the greatest feelings, is knowing you are in a relationship with somebody who respects and honors your boundaries, and who can trust that in return, you will do the same for them. ⁠ ⁠ While each of your boundaries will look differently, you can begin to build mutual respect and trust simply by allowing the other person to feel safe enough to be share with you what their personal boundaries look like.⁠ ⁠ As you grow in love, and continue evolving as individuals, it will be a constant evolution of boundaries as well.⁠ ⁠ But when you keep and open mind and an open heart, you're able to continue working towards that mutual understanding that needs to be had in order to continue growing and strengthen your relationship.⁠ ⁠

Dealing with toxic people is never easy, and the quarantine may have set it up for you in a way that may not provide you with many opportunities to distance yourself from toxic people. So what can you do? Well first, let’s begin with assessing the situation inwards, asking questions such as… Am I mirroring any of their upsetting behaviors and engaging in the toxicity? have I expressed my feelings about their behavior? have I held up my boundaries? and even have I set any boundaries at all? . One sign of a very toxic person is their inability to respect someone’s boundaries. Boundaries can be emotional or physical, and they can range from being loose to rigid to non existent. Healthy boundaries live somewhere in between. Many times people who set boundaries boundaries get accused of being selfish and not caring for others, but this is not true. Boundaries allows us to create a clear space where we begin and the other person ends. The purpose of healthy boundaries is to include yourself in the caregiving, and healthy boundaries can serve to establish one’s identity. Boundaries can help us realistically determine who, what and how much we can/need to be responsible for. Lastly, it’s important to remember that boundaries must remain flexible and that they may change from person to person and situation to situation. . Remember that healthy boundaries allow us help us: practice self-care and self-respect, communicate your needs in a relationship, make time and space for positive interactions, set limits in a relationship in a way that is healthy. Having compassion and care for ourselves is crucial to defining our boundaries. . I will be posting some more about boundaries later, but for today… ask yourself… what is a boundary I have been meaning to uphold/maintain/create? and what is getting in the way of doing this? And without needing to act on this (unless you feel ready) what would it look like to set this boundary? #AdrianaRodriguezTherapy

It’s National Orgasm Day! ? Today we celebrate all things orgasm. ? It’s one of my favorite topics to teach and talk about. ? There are a lot of myths about orgasm. Women often hear that their experience with orgasm is more “difficult”. That is NOT true. Female bodies can experience many different types of orgasm including a thinkgasm that can be triggered through fantasy alone. Orgasms are like learning a language. The earlier in life it happens the easier it is but it’s not impossible later on in life. It only requires conditioning your body and learning about your anatomy and physiology. Relaxation and mindset are also important for orgasm. My advice is BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN ORGASM. ?? Check out the latest article I was quoted in for @instylemagazine about different orgasm types. Link in bio! ☝? ? HAPPY NATIONAL ORGASM DAY EVERYONE! #nationalorgasmday #sheorgasms #moreorgasms #orgasmcoaching #learningtopleasureyourself #selfpleasure #orgasmday #sexualhealth #pleasurematters **graphics provided by @modernaphroditeshop @shrimpteeth
