It’s time to spring clean your sex life. Yes, really. Think of it as a much-needed refresh to make space for more pleasure, confidence, and connection. Out with the old, in with what truly serves you.
This season is all about creating healthier habits, organizing your bedside drawer, and clearing out anything (or anyone) that no longer sparks joy. We’re doing a deep clean of what’s not serving you so you can step into a more confident, pleasure-filled version of yourself.
Small changes can make a big impact. Here’s how to give your sex life the refresh it deserves.
1. Give Your Bedroom a Pleasure Upgrade
Your bed isn’t just for sleep—it’s also a space for intimacy, relaxation, and connection. So, when’s the last time you gave it a little refresh? Maybe it’s time for softer sheets, better pillows, or a cozy throw that makes you actually want to stay in bed a little longer.
And don’t forget your surroundings. Your nightstand should be stocked with the essentials – candles, a great book, your favorite toys, and, of course, lube (because I always say, there should be a lube on every nightstand!).
Why does it matter? A cluttered space leads to a cluttered mind, which can negatively impact your mood and sex life. A well-kept, inviting bedroom can help you relax, feel more present, and set the stage for better sex.
How to Do It:
- Clear out distractions—goodbye laundry piles and papers!
- Organize your nightstand so it only holds essentials (think: lotions, massage oils, and anything that enhances the moment).
- Add little touches that make you feel good, like soft lighting or a scent that turns you on.
A bedroom that feels good = sex that feels even better.
2. Clear the Mental Clutter
If stress is taking up space in your mind, it’s probably taking up space in your sex life too. Mental and emotional overwhelm can be a fast-track to low libido, stalled intimacy, and feeling disconnected from yourself or your partner. And let’s be real—who isn’t carrying some stress these days?
Think of this as a mental reset. What thoughts, habits, or relationships aren’t serving you anymore? What’s no longer bringing you joy? If it’s not a “hell yes,” ditch it.
Instead of letting stress pile up, try healthy ways to clear your head and create more space for pleasure:
- Take a walk. Movement gets energy flowing—and it’s even better when you bring your partner along. Walking side by side creates an easy, pressure-free way to connect emotionally.
- Meditate. Even five minutes of mindfulness can help you feel more grounded and in tune with your body.
- Journal. Get your thoughts down on paper, whether it’s setting goals, tracking progress, or just releasing whatever’s on your mind.
- Try a sound bath. Vibrational healing can help calm your nervous system and melt away tension.
- Therapy & check-ins: Whether it’s solo or couples therapy, talking it out can create major breakthroughs for your emotional and sexual well-being. And if therapy isn’t your thing, regular check-ins with yourself and your partner can do wonders for keeping your connection strong.
A clear mind makes way for deeper intimacy, better sex, and a whole lot more “hell yes” moments.
3. Fine-tune Your Health (Gut included!)
Introducing healthy habits like more exercise, healthy eating and an iron-clad supplement routine. So, treat yourself with the best from Just Thrive to achieve better gut health.

Some other ways to up-level your health:
- Move more. Whether it’s yoga, strength training, or just dancing around your living room, movement boosts circulation and libido.
- Nourish your body. Load up on fiber-rich foods, lean proteins, and healthy fats to support digestion and energy.
- Hydrate. Water is essential for digestion, skin health, and yes, natural lubrication.
When you feel good on the inside, it shows on the outside—and in the bedroom too.
4. Spring Clean Your Sex Toys
Your sex toys work hard—so let’s show them some love. Regular cleaning isn’t just about hygiene (though that’s key!); it also helps extend the life of your toys and keeps your body safe from irritation or infections. Think of this as a reset for your pleasure essentials, so you can head into spring feeling fresh and ready to play.
How to give your toys the TLC they deserve:
- Wash them the right way. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions—most non-porous toys (like silicone and glass) are safe with mild soap and warm water, while others might need a dedicated toy cleaner.
- Check for wear & tear. If a toy is cracking, peeling, or losing its charge, it’s time to say goodbye and invest in a new one.
- Store smart. Keep your toys in a cool, dry place—preferably in their own storage bag, away from direct sunlight or dust.
Nothing says self-care like a clean, well-stocked pleasure drawer. 😉
5. Declutter Your Social Roster
Spring isn’t just for cleaning out your closet—it’s also the perfect time to reassess your relationships. Not every friendship, or fling is meant to last forever, and that’s okay. Some people come into your life for a reason, a season… or a lesson. If someone is draining your energy, making you question your worth, or not bringing value to your life, it may be time to say, “Bye. Next.”
How to do a social spring clean:
- Take inventory. Who in your life lifts you up? Who drags you down? Be honest with yourself.
- Set boundaries. Distance yourself from people not respecting your time, energy, or emotional well-being.
- Block your ex’s number. Mute them on social media. Resist the urge to check their stories. Your future self will thank you.
- Make space for the good stuff. When you let go of relationships that no longer serve you, you create room for deeper, more fulfilling connections.
Relationships should feel good—not like another thing you need to “clean up.”
A little decluttering—whether it’s your bedroom, your habits, or even your social circle—can go a long way in making space for more pleasure and connection. So shake off the old, embrace what excites you, and step into the season feeling lighter, freer, and ready for whatever (or whoever) comes next.
