Growth Potentials
Language for the most promising areas where small changes can meaningfully improve intimacy, communication, and satisfaction.
What This Really Means
Growth potentials highlight leverage points (e.g., reduce pressure, add privacy, improve initiation clarity) rather than framing people as broken.
This is most effective when paired with structured action → integration, realistic pacing, and culturally appropriate options (private, low-intensity steps).
Clear, non-shaming language supports global usability.
Examples
“Add a weekly check-in”
“Create a decompression ritual before initiation”
“Practice a simple consent phrase”
“Shift from outcome goals to process pleasure.”
