Energy Level
A person’s typical level of physical and emotional energy available for dating, intimacy, and sex, which influences pacing and frequency preferences.
What This Really Means
Energy level is affected by sleep, health, workload, parenting, mental health, and stress—not just attraction.
Many libido conflicts are actually energy conflicts.
Talking about energy level supports practical solutions (timing, planning, reducing stressors) and reduces personalizing a partner’s fatigue as rejection.
Examples
A couple schedules intimacy earlier in the evening because late nights reduce energy
A partner wants shorter, more frequent connection because long sessions feel draining
Desire increases on weekends when recovery time is available.
