Keeping your libido up all the time may come naturally to some, but to many others, having a high sex drive is a struggle to maintain. With hormones playing a huge part in your willingness to get freaky, alongside stress, anxiety, contraception and many other factors that alter your libido, it can be hard to know how to get yourself into the mood.
This is why experts at sexual wellness platform Bedbible have curated a top tips list of some of the best ways to get your mojo back and get excited to be excited again.
If you are worried about disappearing or losing your desire for sex, don't panic and remember that there are plenty of ways to get you in the mood, and it is completely natural and normal to have fluctuation in your desires.
De-stress
Self-care is necessary when de-stressing and becoming relaxed enough to enjoy sex. Often stress can be something that is hidden and not spoken about, so if you feel comfortable doing so, why not open up to your partner or a trusted friend about your stresses? You might find a problem shared is a problem halved.
Try taking an hour daily to be with yourself and indulge in self-care. Whether taking a long bubble bath or going on a walk to get in some fresh air and exercise, practising this and implementing this into your daily routine will allow you to have dedicated time to yourself which is a great way to gain back independence, confidence, and calmness.
Remember: Masturbation is an excellent form of self-care, so why not implement this into your self-care routine and get to know your own body? It can be a fantastic way to discover your turn-ons and what you might like your sexual partner or partners to help incorporate into your sex.
Focus on foreplay
Finding foreplay the most exciting part of sex is a familiar feeling for many, so why not focus more on this aspect when you might not be feeling up to it, as it could get you in the mood? The feel-good hormones produced when indulging in foreplay will reduce stress and help you feel more in the moment.
Kissing is a great way to release oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin, which will get you comfortable and relaxed, which is the perfect combination. Introducing toys into foreplay is another great way to get your body and mind ready; even better, if you have toys for your solo-play, offer your partner to use them to switch it up to get them in the mood too.
Eat foods that boost libido
If you think your sex drive could use a little boost, why not try these foods and see if they get you going again:
Watermelon: Watermelon is rich in B vitamins which help with sexual endurance and the production of energy. It delivers Viagra-like effects to your body which work for both men and women, making you feel relaxed, reducing stress, and putting you in the mood.
Fatty Fish: The acids in tuna, salmon, and sardines will give your body a vast increase of dopamine and increase blood flow; they are also rich in omega-3 acids and vitamin B6, as well as delivering protein at a low-calorie level – all leading to increased libido and a healthy lifestyle.
Strawberries: Strawberries are filled with vitamin C, an excellent enhancer for your sex drive, especially in men. Vitamin C supports male hormones, aiding arousal and equalizing stress hormones.
Why not try dark chocolate-covered strawberries, which include flavonoids that help relax your blood vessels and aid you to relax into the mood.
Know your turn-ons and offs!
Everybody is different, which is great but can also cause confusion in the bedroom. Something that turns you on might not be someone else's go-to, which is why it's important to express to your sexual partner or partners what you like and what you would prefer to avoid.
There are many ways you can increase arousal and desire, so here's a list of potential aids that might make you get in the mood:
Masturbation
Fantasizing
Sexting
Porn
Music
Sex toys
Erotica
