I don’t know if this is TMI, but I’m not normally much of a sexual person. I enjoy it, of course, but I don’t have a huge drive and don’t build my life around it, but with my twin… I read this thread this morning, so maybe it’s not just me? I feel like I crave my TF and I barely register anything with anyone else. So I don’t know if I’d ever even want sex again with someone else.

The sexual energy between twin flames operates completely differently from regular attraction. Most people find that normal relationships fade over time. You get used to someone, the novelty wears off and things settle into routine. With your twin flame, it works in reverse.
The connection is based on recognition rather than discovery, so it actually intensifies as you become more familiar with each other.
It’s not that you’re forcing yourself or making a conscious choice - your energy body recognizes your twin at a cellular level. The sacral and root chakras activate specifically for them, and other people just don’t trigger that same response. Leaving everyone else feeling “flat” or “empty” by comparison.
The craving you mention is part of the energetic exchange that happens through what’s called the twin flame cord. The energy passing between you can manifest as intense sexual thoughts, spontaneous arousal, or just this persistent pull toward them.
One thing I’ve learned working with a lot of people in this community - the intense sexual connection you’re describing happens with twin flames, but it can also happen with very strong soul connections or karmic partners if both people have clear chakras and activated kundalini. So the experience itself might not be exclusively twin flame and that’s one of the reasons people can get stuck with karmics for so long. They still feel important when it comes to the physical connection.
That said, what you’re describing about not wanting anyone else is a pretty major indicator. Twin flames create what’s called an unbreakable energy cord that maintains constant exchange between you. Your root and sacral chakras literally sync up with theirs. When you encounter other people, their energy signature just doesn’t match yours the way your twin’s does. It’s like trying to use the wrong key in a lock - technically, you could force it, but why would you when the right key exists?
Twin flame sexual energy isn’t just about pleasure or connection between two people. It’s there to trigger kundalini awakening, clear blockages in your chakra system, and push you toward spiritual evolution. When the pull feels overwhelming, that’s often because there’s shadow work or healing that needs to happen. The sexual energy is the catalyst that brings everything to the surface.
There is a great write-up of flame sex here by Cassady that might help:
When you try to be with someone else after meeting your twin, it’s not just that the sex isn’t as good… Your body just literally doesn’t respond the same way. I can’t even get aroused around other people. I don’t know if that’s permanent or if it shifts over time, but it’s a thing.
I get what you’re saying. I can’t admit it to him because I’m so scared of overwhelming him, but it’s like my body has been rewired around him. It’s primal. Almost something I can’t control. Never experienced anything close to this intensity before, and it scares me sometimes. With anyone else? Nothing. Barely a flicker. But with him, it’s this constant pull and I desire him.
I worry that if I ever acted on how much I want him, he’d think I’m crazy or too much. The worst part is knowing I need to keep my distance to protect him from this intensity. I don’t want to make him uncomfortable or push him away by being too forward, but god, suppressing this feels impossible some days.
Our minds can get so wired to our twin that just thinking about them can create these intense physical responses. Like, we’re not even talking about fantasy scenarios here, just them existing in your headspace and suddenly your body is like ‘it’s GO TIME.’
And good luck trying to redirect your thoughts once that train leaves the station. Can’t un-ring that bell.
I appreciate this perspective, but I want to push back a bit on one point here.
You’re saying that when the pull feels overwhelming, it’s often because there’s shadow work or healing that needs to happen. But what if that’s not always the case? What if sometimes the intensity is just… the intensity? Not everything has to be a lesson or a signal that we’re broken and need fixing.
I’ve seen people in this community spend years digging for shadow work and trying to heal their way out of perfectly natural desire. They pathologize their attraction, convince themselves they’re ‘not ready’ for union because they still feel too much, and end up in this endless cycle of self-improvement that keeps them stuck.
Sometimes the sexual energy between twin flames is overwhelming simply because it’s supposed to be. It’s the magnetism of two souls recognizing each other. The intensity isn’t always pointing to a wound - it might just be pointing to the truth of the connection itself.
Just another way to look at it.
I’m usually pretty moderate in that department too, but ever since my TF came into my life, it’s like someone flipped a switch I didn’t even know existed. We were messaging back and forth recently - nothing even that explicit, just some playful banter and double meanings - and I swear I felt like I was going to combust right there at my keyboard.
It’s not even just when we’re actively talking. There’s this constant hum in the background now. I’ll be doing the most mundane thing - grocery shopping, folding laundry - and suddenly I’m hit with this wave of intensity. My normal sex drive? Maybe a 4/10 on a good day. My twin flame-activated sex drive? Solid 11/10, breaking the scale, unhinged.
The weirdest part is how specific it is to them. Other people just don’t register anymore. My body decided ‘nope, this is the frequency we’re tuned to now’ and everything else is just static.
I get what you’re saying about that craving (like nothing else compares, right?).
My twin and I took some planned space from the sexual side of things for a bit. When you’re not constantly pulled by that magnetic attraction, you start noticing other layers of the connection and you get clearer on your own path too. I used to think the physical pull WAS the connection, but giving ourselves that breathing room showed me there’s more to it. The desire doesn’t go away (trust me, it doesn’t ), but you learn it doesn’t have to consume you.
Just something to consider if you ever feel overwhelmed by it all.
When my twin and I were together physically, every single time felt even more powerful than the last, like our sacral and heart chakras were merging deeper each time. It was this escalating passionate connection where we’d tell each other ‘that was the best yet’ over and over.
Never had that with anyone else.
The energy between twins is just on another level compared to regular connections, I can’t imagine wanting that with anyone else now.
I relate to what you’re describing. My mentor used to say that twin flame intimacy operates on a different frequency - like this electric energy that flows through your whole body.
Your soul recognizes theirs and responds in ways that feel almost otherworldly. I’ve never experienced anything close to that intensity with anyone else, and now regular connections just feel flat in comparison.
I got so turned on just talking with my TF. Not been with anyone in years so hoping that I get to enjoy some of that amazing twin flame sex I keep reading about. Got to be something enjoyable in all this!
My twin and I come from very different cultural backgrounds and he’s way more reserved about discussing sexual energy openly, which makes navigating this really hard. In his culture, this topic is pretty taboo, so I’m trying to respect that while also not suppressing what I’m feeling.
I was his first though, he said he wasn’t really interested in it with previous relationships. Some people just don’t have that kind of drive or they have other stuff going on in their life. With me it’s… different he said.
I’ve been celibate for a while now and honestly, the energetic connection with my twin feels more intense than any physical intimacy I ever had in my marriage. There’s this constant wave that just runs through you, and it spikes at specific times (for me it’s usually evenings and certain days of the week). The idea of being with anyone else just feels impossible.
Your sexual energy just seems to zero in on that one person while everyone else barely registers. The dormant thing makes sense too. When you’re not usually that sexual but suddenly feel this way with someone specific, there’s something different happening. Like your body and mind are responding to them in a way that doesn’t happen with regular attraction.
I felt similar when I met mine. The physical pull was there but it was wrapped up in something bigger that I still don’t fully understand. I do feel so turned on though, every time I so much as think about them.
You’re definitely not the only one dealing with this.
