Cognishambles

Definition: That brutal mental freefall where your brain hijacks sexy time by obsessing over every sigh, sweat bead, or awkward shuffle. You’re physically present but mentally drafting a PowerPoint on why your thigh jiggle might kill the vibe, convinced your partner’s mentally reorganizing their sock drawer.

It turns intimacy into a live autopsy of your perceived flaws, leaving you feeling hollow and vaguely sticky afterward—even if everything technically felt fine. Basically, your overthink engine redlines while your body’s just trying to enjoy the ride.

Example:

Mid-kiss, her brain hijacked the moment, spiraling into mental freefall about whether her breathing sounded weird, totally missing his soft sigh.

Even though he seemed present, his overthink engine redlined, convinced his awkward repositioning exposed perceived flaws and killed the vibe completely.
