7 ways to boost libido

Anxiety, relationship difficulties, health concerns, and age can affect libido.

While low libido is not usually problematic, it can affect a person’s relationships and self-esteem.

This blog post examines some of the best ways that males and females can increase their libido using natural methods.

 

1. Manage anxiety

High anxiety levels are a common barrier to sexual functioning and libido for males and females.

This may be anxiety due to life stress or specific sex-related anxiety.

People with an intense work schedule, caring responsibilities, or other life stresses may feel fatigued and, as a result, have a low sexual desire.

Anxiety and stress can also make it more difficult for someone to get or maintain an erection, deterring a person from having sex.

People can take several steps to manage their anxiety and boost their mental health, including:

• practicing good sleep hygiene
• making time favourite hobby
• exercising regularly
• eating a nutritious diet
• working to improve relationships
• talking with a therapist

 

2. Improve relationship quality

Many people experience a lull in sexual desire and frequency at certain points in a relationship. This may occur after being with someone for a long time or if a person perceives issues in their intimate relationships.

Focusing on improving the relationship can increase each partner’s sex drive. This might involve:

• planning date nights
• participating in activities together outside of the bedroom
• practise open communication
• setting time aside for quality time with each other

 

3. Focus on foreplay

Having better sexual experiences may increase a person’s desire for sex, thereby boosting their libido.

In many cases, people can enhance their sexual experiences by spending more time touching, kissing, using sex toys, and performing oral sex. Some people call these actions outer course.

 

For females, foreplay may be especially important.

 

4. Get good-quality sleep

Good sleep can improve a person’s overall mood and energy levels, and some research also links sleep quality to libido.

Women who reported longer average sleep times reported better genital arousal than those with shorter sleep times.

 

5. Eat a nutritious diet

Following a nutritious diet can benefit people’s sex drive by promoting good circulation and heart health and removing specific foods that can decrease libido.

Metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease can affect physical sexual functioning Polycystic ovarian syndrome can also affect hormone levels, disrupting libido.

Eating a diet rich in vegetables, low in sugar, and high in lean proteins can help prevent disorders that affect libido.

 

6. Try sex therapy

Sexual desire is complex, with both psychological and physical components. Even when a person has a physical condition that affects libido, such as diabetes, improving the emotional and psychological response to sex can improve libido and sexual functioning.

Therapy is an effective strategy for increasing low libido. Individual counseling can help address negative views about sex, self-esteem, and secondary causes of low libido, such as depression and anxiety.

Relationship counselling can help some people work through factors affecting their sexual desire.

 

7. Quit smoking

Smoking cigarettes can have a negative impact on a person’s cardiovascular system. Good heart health is important for good sexual functioning.

People who smoke cigarettes may find that their energy levels and sex drive increase after stopping.
