A decrease in libido can be due to a variety of factors. However, if the lack of desire is seriously affecting our relationships, it may be time to seek help.
Sexual desire fluctuates with age. Therefore, at some stages of our lives, we have more sexual desire and at others, less.
This is normal and depends on many factors. If this is the case for you and you think you have a low libido, we have some suggestions to activate your libido and enjoy your relationship again.
What You Should Know About Sexual Desire?
Reduced libido is normal and can affect both men and women at certain times or stages of life, although we should not worry.
It’s best to give yourself some time and understand that this is a stage. Therefore, we will prevent stress from causing further loss of sexual desire.
In fact, this lack of sexual desire can only be considered a problem when it persists for too long over time and begins to affect the personal domain and the couple. In this situation, seeking professional help to overcome it is important.
In fact, this lack of sexual desire can only be considered a problem if it persists too long over time and begins to affect the individual sphere and the couple. In this case, it is important to seek professional help to overcome it.
On the other hand, there are many factors that trigger a decrease in sexual desire, and the reasons are also varied. Among them:
- Stress or anxiety
- Lack of sexual stimulation
- Problems in the couple
- Low self-esteem
- Some medications
- Sexual dysfunctions
- Hormonal changes (menopause, pregnancy, etc.)
In any case, there are always some “tricks” to activate sexual desire and awaken sexual desire. Let’s get to know some:
1. Add Fantasy
Perhaps it’s time to introduce new ideas into sexual relationships. Indeed, perhaps monotony is one of the reasons for decreased libido. However, this can always be overcome through fantasy and imagination.
From reading erotic novels together to introducing games or toys during sex, many things can help activate your sex life and break conventions. The key is to awaken sexual desire, which is mainly a psychological activity.
In this sense, communication between spouses is essential. In fact, it is necessary for couples to discuss sex, expose their desires and preferences, encourage themselves to improve their sex life, and avoid sexual deterioration. Therefore, freely discussing what we truly want can truly activate our sexual desire.
2. Enhance Self-esteem
Self-esteem is also closely linked to satisfaction and sex life. So if you lack self-esteem, your libido will also be affected, and that’s normal.
To achieve this, there is nothing better than taking care of yourself. This can start by seeking psychological help when necessary, getting physical exercise, avoiding negative thoughts, and making changes in your life.
The better you feel about yourself, the better you will feel about your partner and sexual relationship.
3. Masturbation
Masturbation does not lower sexual desire. On the contrary, it will bring benefits to intimate relationships.
In fact, this is almost a practice that can help you better understand yourself from the perspective of sexual desire and preferences, which will bring benefits when you meet a partner.
On the other hand, masturbation can lead to orgasm, which is beneficial for physical and mental health and can have a positive impact on increasing sexual desire.
We should also not forget that masturbation can be done as a couple, so that we can add something different and very enjoyable to our already boring or unenthusiastic sex life.
4. Physical and Mental Health
A healthy and balanced life is key to our overall well-being. In this sense, we are not just talking about a balanced diet or regular physical exercise.
In fact, well-being also includes other aspects, such as knowing how to relax, having fun, avoiding stress, maintaining healthy relationships, etc.
If our lives are changed due to factors such as stress, it is normal to have a decreased libido. Similarly, if we have health problems, it is logical to have a decreased libido.
5. Seek Help
Many times, for various reasons and causes, we should consider seeking professional help.
In fact, in cases where there is sexual dysfunction, depression or other types of problems, psychological and/or sex therapy can indeed help to overcome lack of sexual desire.
On the other hand, for many people, lack of sexual desire is the result of a vicious cycle generated by poor sex education or taboos related to sex.
As a result, some people tend to feel uncomfortable in sexual relationships, leading to monotony and dissatisfaction.
Therefore, we must understand that sex is not something to be ashamed of. It is for enjoyment and improvement of our well-being from a physical, psychological and marital point of view.
Reminder
Most cases of male sexual frigidity are abnormal conditions. If one does not engage in sexual activity for a long time due to sexual frigidity, it can bring many harms to men.
I hope all men can face the problem of their sexual frigidity and be brave enough to solve it. Not only for the sake of physical health, but also for the sake of family harmony.
