Sexual Stage
A concept that describes where someone currently is in their intimacy journey (e.g., paused, repairing, exploring, integrating), based on context and readiness.
What This Really Means
Sexual stages are meant to be temporary and compassionate—reflecting energy, safety, stress, and relationship context rather than “progress level.” Stages help tailor recommendations: someone in repair may need reconnection tools, while someone exploring may need consent frameworks and boundaries.
Geo-friendly design avoids moral hierarchy and respects local values around privacy and sexuality.
Examples
A person in a high-stress season shows “Recharging / Pausing”
After conflict, a couple shows “Repairing / Reconnecting”
A user with stable routines shows “Grounded / Integrated.”
