When you first met your man, there was nothing that could stop the two of you from ripping each others clothes off…
But now, you’re literally fighting to keep them on! If you know you still love your man more than anything, but just can’t figure out why you don’t want to jump his bones as much, we can help you out…
Low libidoA lack of sex drive (or lack of libido) is actually very common amongst women, but quite rare in men. Your libido is pretty much like any appetite – it goes up and down, and it’s totally natural that it will change. There are several factors which have been commonly linked to a lack of libido within women, and there are some steps you can take to help bring yours back to live! Visit your doctor When it comes to reviving your sex drive, your first stop should be your GP. It’s important to rule out any physical reasons – whether it’s an undiagnosed illness such as glandular fever or a hormonal problem, or possibly even any medications that you are taking. Some contraceptive pills and antidepressants have been found to imbalance hormones, which can result in a lack of libido. Your doctor can help you to figure out what’s at the root of the problem.
Too much stressStress, anxiety and fatigue are all serious sex drive killers. If your job is stressing you out, you’re having money issues or you’re just stretching yourself out in to many directions, this could be one of the reasons that your libido is low. Take a look at all of your commitments and prioritise what you absolutely must do, and which things you could possibly drop. Record for a week how you spend your time; this will help you figure out where you’re investing most of your time. You may find you spend more time in front of the telly than with your man! Emotions
If it’s not anything physical, it could be that your emotions are dampening your sex drive. Take a look at how you’re feeling, if you’ve been unhappy for a while this could have a serious effect on your sex drive. Whether your angry with your man, or just angry with life in general, try and figure out what’s making you feel so low. Once you’ve figure it out, remember that communication is the key. Talk with your partner about any underlying issues and try to get them out in the open. Top tips to up your sex drive Eat a healthy diet: Include plenty of veggies, protein and whole foods. These will help to reduce your stress levels, increase your energy, and help your body look and feel better. Try adding some aphrodisiacs to the mix as well for an extra boost. Sleep: Get a good night’s sleep and your stress levels will decrease, and your energy levels increase. Make sure you fit in enough time so that you can get at least six hours of solid and thorough sleep (or however many you need). Exercise: You might feel too tired or busy to exercise, but it will give you more energy, and even 20 minutes three times a week can make a huge difference to your overall health. It’ll also get the endorphins buzzing which will improve your mood, and possibly get you in the mood (if you know what I mean)… Chill: Zone out to get rid of all the stress in your life. Try yoga or mediation. Get back in touch with your man: It’s important to reconnect with your man, to make sure he knows that you’re not any less attracted to him! Talk with him, go on dates and spoil him with your time and affection. This can all help to bring the loving back… If you still feel as though your libido is not improving, we recommend you pay a visit to your GP. Ramarea |
