If you’re looking for ways to increase your libido, here are 6 great ways to keep in mind.
But what is sexual desire? Libido is a term commonly used to describe a person’s libido or sexual desire. Everyone’s libido is different and can fluctuate over time. Sexual desire can also be influenced by external circumstances, lifestyle or physical and mental state.
There is no measure of normal or abnormal sexual desire. Some people want to have sex several times a day, while others don’t want it at all. The scale is completely personal and depends on what you think is low or high libido. If you feel like your libido is too low and you want to be more interested, it’s good to know what’s causing your low libido.
Once you find out what is causing it, you can start improving and building your libido. Here we are going to go over six simple but important ways that can help you improve your libido.
Sleep is vital to us and affects our quality of life, well-being and success in many areas. Chronic lack of sleep can affect long-term libido, but fatigue is a common reason people don’t have sex. Sleep problems can be caused by physical factors such as hormonal changes or menopause, but also by external factors such as pregnancy, stress and fatigue.
Sleep and sex are both basic human needs, but healthy sleep habits reduce the risk of disease, increase quality of life, well-being and can have a positive effect on libido. If you associate low libido with chronic insomnia or poor sleep habits, it’s a good idea to prioritize sleep and work on improving your sleep habits. As a result, you may notice an increase in energy, well-being, and even a greater desire to have sex.
Some ways to improve your sleep habits:
Limit screen time before bed Limit caffeine consumption later in the day Go to bed at the same time every night Exercise regularly Limit alcohol consumption
Like sleep, regular exercise contributes to mental and physical health. Regular exercise affects stress, mental health, self-awareness, zest for life and increased self-confidence. When you exercise, your body releases hormones such as endorphins, serotonin and dopamine, which increase well-being and give you more energy. Regular exercise also has a positive effect on body image and self-confidence. It is therefore clear that there is a link between exercise and increased sexual desire.
Regular exercise also increases the sex hormone testosterone. We usually know it as a male sex hormone, but it also plays an important role in the female body. Women’s testosterone levels typically peak during the menstrual cycle on the day of ovulation, but women’s libido is often at its peak. Remember that a woman’s menstrual cycle and the hormonal fluctuations associated with it can affect libido.
Exercising daily, at least 30 minutes a day, can therefore help you improve your libido. Strength training, yoga, and swimming are examples of good exercises, but don’t forget about the pelvic floor.
All sexes should exercise their pelvic floor regularly, which involves tensing the muscles around the urethra, vagina or prostate and rectum. To find the right muscles, it may be advisable to stop urinating for a short time. It is important to train the pelvic floor regularly, because a strong pelvic floor can increase the pleasure of sex.
Exercise and sleep have a positive effect on libido, so it’s no surprise that a nutritious diet can have an effect there too. Diet is an important factor when it comes to living a healthy life while increasing quality of life and well-being. As mentioned earlier, lifestyle, physical and mental condition are very important when it comes to libido.
Eating a variety of foods from all categories of the food chain is important for health and well-being, but eating a diet that includes plant-based protein, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids can have a positive effect on sex drive and even fertility. This includes foods such as whole grains, fresh vegetables, citrus fruits, legumes, nuts, and seafood. It’s good to keep white flour and sugar to a minimum.
A wide variety of foods and nutrition, such as sleep and exercise, have an effect on libido, but in this context some natural supplements can also be mentioned that can increase it even more.
There are various supplements and drugs to increase libido. If you want to stick with natural ways to increase libido, herbs or roots can be a great option. Examples of natural supplements that can have a positive effect on libido include Maca, Ashwagandha and Ginkgo Biloba.
Maca root is rich in nutrients, amino acids and antioxidants. It is best known for balancing hormones and is considered energizing, sexually stimulating, and nutritious for the nervous system and mental well-being.
Maca root is also believed to balance estrogen levels in the body. The root not only increases libido in women, but in all genders, and is considered a good erectile remedy.
Ashwagandha, like the root of Maca, is believed to promote balance and help the body cope with stress, fatigue and lack of energy. It is considered particularly good for balancing mental well-being and reducing anxiety and depression in women who have reached the transition period.
The root also stimulates blood circulation and increases sensitivity and arousal, making it especially popular when it comes to naturally increasing libido and sexual arousal.
Finally, Gingko Biloba may be mentioned, but the herb has a good effect on the vascular system and blood circulation and is known to have a good effect on concentration and endurance. The herb is considered good for erectile problems and low sexual desire.
These three natural supplements are available at major pharmacies and grocery stores.
Like the physical factors we covered above, mental factors also affect libido, and body image and self-confidence can play an important role in this. Body image is how we think about our body and how we feel about our body. If you have low self-confidence and don’t feel good about yourself, it can affect your sex drive.
But how can you improve your confidence? The items listed above, such as regular exercise, a nutritious diet, and healthy sleep habits, can all affect mental well-being and self-confidence. However, it can also help to focus on things other than physical aspects.
Changing the way you think, being kind to yourself, practicing gratitude, dressing in a way that makes you feel good, having realistic expectations, and limiting content and media that make you feel bad can help.
Working on both your physical and mental aspects helps you build confidence, a positive body image and at the same time increase your libido.
Ultimately, your relationship with your partner is key to improving libido and having fulfilling sex that benefits both parties. A low libido is often associated with communication problems with a partner, which can lead to problems and tensions in the relationship.
It is therefore important to know how to express yourself and to be honest with your expectations and desires. Talk openly about sex and talk about what you like, what you want to try in sex and show your partner how you want to be touched.
Conversation is an important part of making sex even better, and when you know exactly your wants and desires and those of your partner, sexual desire increases dramatically. Do not hesitate to talk about your libido and if there are periods of low libido, talk about the possible reasons.
As mentioned earlier, everyone’s sexual desire is different and that’s perfectly normal. Whether your libido is low or high doesn’t really matter as long as you’re comfortable with sex. If you feel less sexual desire than what you consider normal, there could be many reasons as stated above, and therefore it is ideal to try some of these methods…CONTINUE READING>>
