In between your endless to-do list and those nagging everyday anxieties, finding the time and energy—much less the desire—for sex can be daunting.

And whether you already have kids and are trying to reconnect with your partner or are embarking on a trying-to-conceive journey, sex can sometimes be seen as yet another task to cross off your list or just a step that gets you closer to an end goal.

But here’s the thing: Filling your day with even an ounce more pleasure can make everything else feel less tedious.

At a time when 41% of moms are having less sex than ever, we get that prioritizing sex and pleasure takes practice and time and commitment. Which is why embarking on a self-pleasure practice can be a form of self-care.

In some cases, it’s as simple as taking something you already love to do, like journaling or listening to an audiobook, and transforming that into a sexy, libido-boosting experience. These five sex-positive apps make sex and intimacy feel more approachable and achievable, helping you rekindle your sex life and lean into your lust—whether that’s solo or partnered. Each one is so good, we only wish we’d discovered them sooner.
