Tips To Increase Your Sex Drive And Improve Your Relationship

A low sex drive can cause several problems in your life. If you are in a relationship, a lot of strain might develop owing to your loss of interest in sex. If you happen to be single, a poor sex drive can seriously hinder your chances of finding a partner, and this can make you lonely. You may also begin to loose confidence and self-esteem. However, the good news is that there are ways to increase your sex drive. Here are a few ideas to help you boost your libido.

Controlling Stress

When you are over-stressed, over-worked or simply exhausted most of the time, you will leave no room in your mind for sex. And rest assured, if you are not thinking about it, you will not be interested in doing it either. So, the first thing to do to increase your sex drive is to take steps to control your levels of stress.

Exercise is a great way to control stress. It releases hormones in your body that directly reduce your stress levels, and a more relaxed you is more likely to think about sex. Also, exercise tones your muscles and helps you burn fat. Both these factors cause physiological and hormonal changes that will directly  boost your libido.

Apart from exercise, some form of meditation and even Yoga can help you control your stress levels and revive your sexual capacity. People who meditate and practice the art of imbibing mental equilibrium and equanimity are able to control their worries better. This frees your mind to think sexually again.

Exploring Erotica

Even if you are not stressed beyond measure, simply having a packed schedule can leave your mind little opportunity to indulge sexy thoughts. To counter this challenge, several sexual health experts recommend that you read erotic fiction and even watch pictures and movies that turn you on. This may go a great way in helping you increase your sex drive.

Losing Weight

There is a direct connection between obesity and a low sex drive. The insulin resistance and high cholesterol associated with excess weight can hinder blood flow to your sexual organs. The same happens when your tiny blood vessels are partially blocked by fat deposits. In men, poor blood flow causes impotence or erectile dysfunction, and in women poor vaginal lubrication and hindered states of arousal. When your sexual performance dips, so does your confidence and interest in sex. However, if you can lose weight with the combination of a healthy diet and regular exercise, you will almost immediately notice an improvement in your sex drive and sexual performance.

Improving Your Body Image

Body image is a big factor for a healthy sex life, especially for women. The emphasis that the media and our entire modern culture puts on a thin and sexy figure can make women extremely self conscious. And the fact is that when you are preoccupied with your navel, hips or thighs, you cannot enjoy the moment, which is a crucial need to have a healthy sex life. Rather, you are likely to feel unusually pressurized and ultimately lose your sex drive. You need to change your outlook and begin to believe in your sensuality. For all you know, you may have a partner who is more willing to look beyond your imperfections than you are.

At the end of the day, it is most important that you approach these ideas positively and with confidence to increase your sex drive and improve your relationship.
