Many months or years ago, you might have been eager to tear your partner’s clothes off. However, you might now struggle with a low sex drive, which might affect a romantic relationship, your mood, or your confidence.
Most people will experience times in their life when they don’t want to get intimate underneath the sheets. The low sex drive could stem from a stressful routine, tiredness, a monotonous sex life, or hormonal changes. If you’re ready to boost your libido, read these tips on how to get excited about sex again.
Spice Up Sex
It is common to fall into a routine in the bedroom when in a long-term relationship. If you and your partner naturally adopt the same positions, get intimate in the same setting, or have sex at a specific time, consider spicing up your life.
While you don’t need to become an expert in the Kama Sutra overnight, try new positions, step outside the bedroom, and surprise your partner with sex. Also, you could inject more fun and excitement by introducing various adult toys, such as a vibrator, cock ring, or strap-on. New toys can equal new sensations and a side to your sex life you have yet to explore.
Add Eroticism into Your Life
Supercharge your sex life by adding more eroticism to your days. Get your heart racing by listening to interesting sex podcasts, such as:
- Why are People into That?
- Better in Bed
- Dying for Sex
- Foreplay Radio
Also, if you’re in a long-term relationship, you could make sex a bigger focus in your relationship by visiting a sex museum or attending a sex-focused event. It will encourage you to think and talk more about sex, foreplay, and different experiences, which could boost your libido and physical intimacy.
Take a Bath or Shower with Your Partner
If you struggle to get excited at the thought of sex, embrace activities that require you to get physically intimate. For example, you could take a romantic bath or shower with a partner, which will provide a more sensual experience.
The goal isn’t to have sex in the bathroom but to relax, de-stress, and feel closer to your other half. One emotion may lead to another and, before you know it, you’re excited to get hot and heavy with your partner.
Don’t Struggle with a Low Sex Drive
If your sex drive has plummeted in recent months or years, don’t suffer in silence. Men and women can struggle with low libido for various reasons, such as:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Prescription medications
- Menopause
- Low testosterone
- Aging
- Painful sex
- Alcohol use
If you suspect there is an underlying cause for your low sex drive, don’t struggle alone. Schedule an appointment with a doctor to discuss your libido, health, and lifestyle, which will ensure they provide the most effective treatment. Also, you may need to make some adjustments to your life, such as reducing alcohol consumption, exercising regularly, and enjoying a good night’s rest.
