Seven ways to increase your libido




If your desire for s3x is flagging try any or all of these methods to give your s3x drive a boost
Not feeling up for s3x isn’t necessarily a problem – if you’re healthy, happy and your partner’s libido matches yours, it might simply be a case of enjoying s3x when you have it and leaving it at that. If, however, you suspect that your lack of desire is physical - the result of a health imbalance, or tiredness, then any of the following could help give you a boost.

   Use your imagination

Thinking about s3x, or reading about it or even viewing it, can help put you in the mindset of feeling erotic yourself. So indulge in your favourite fantasy, buy an erotic story book (take a look at mature erotica, for example, the Mid-Life Love series, by Whitney Gracia Williams), or view some erotica. 


Not only might you get some new ideas, simply feeling aroused will help pump blood to your genitals getting you into a more libidinous state.

   Slurp on some oysters

It’s not just the way you eat them – hot slurps and sucking noises! – it’s also because they’re packed with zinc. The mineral is essential for testosterone production and perhaps surprisingly both women and men need testosterone for a healthy s3x life. 
Oysters also contain amino acids that one study from Barry University, USA, found increased s3x hormones in rodents. If you can’t stand the thought of oysters, or the price, opt for pine nuts, wheat germ, beef or liver instead, which also contain high levels of zinc. For the amino acids (aspartic acid, specifically), try raw cabbage, soy, or asparagus.

   Eat watermelon

Researchers from Texas A&M found that certain nutrients in watermelon – lycopene and beta-carotene – help relax your blood vessels and so allow blood to circulate more freely… including to between your legs. 
When you get aroused blood rushes to your genitals and it’s this filling with blood that helps increase sensation for a woman, not to mention giving a man the possibility to get an erection. So watermelon and other foods containing lycopene and beta-carotene such as tomatoes, for example, may help get your body into a healthy state for more s3x.

   Have a glass of red wine

A glass of red wine helps raise a woman’s testosterone levels just enough to help her get into a state of arousal. More than a glass, though, and it can have the opposite effect, making reaching orgasm more difficult.

   Or a cup of coffee

Sometimes feeling tired can make you want to avoid s3x and coffee helps with that. But it seems that it’s not just about boosting energy levels. 
Research published in medical journal Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behaviour found that caffeine helped make female rats go back to their male counterparts for another s3x session sooner after they’d already mated once. They can’t be sure whether the effect would be the same for human women, but it can’t hurt!

   Just do it

While we would never suggest having s3x if you don’t want to, sometimes it can help to try even when you’re not particularly in the mood. Using your s3x muscles works in similar ways to using other muscles – the more you use them, the stronger they become. So the more often you get aroused and reach orgasm, the more often you’ll feel aroused and want s3x. 
This is partly because of the extra blood circulating in your genitals as a result of arousal and s3x – it helps to keep your s3x organs healthy – but also because of the hormones s3x and orgasm releases.

   Find someone new


Shocking as this may sound, it could be that you’ve simply fallen out of lust with your partner. At this point you have three basic choices: one, create a feeling of desire again, through libido boosters and/or experimenting with new ways of enjoying each other's bodies; two, accept your libido and relationship as it is; or three, make the decision to separate and find someone new who excites you intimately and makes you desire s3x.

Why Every Guy Should Master Non-Penetrative Shagging

Image
One Little Mental Shift That Can Change Your Shagging Life for the Better To many straight men, shagging is penis-in-vagina penetration. Granted, some allow for the existence of anal, while oral counts to some as shagging just as much, but rarely do we ever acknowledge what shagging truly is: fluid. No, not the exchange of fluids, but rather the idea that there’s more to shagging than P-in-V penetration, and what that means can be different for any given person, couple or polyamorous arrangement. There’s a wealth of shagging that can occur without your penis penetrating a vagina or an anus, and guys do themselves a disservice by ignoring that. Not only is a laser-like focus on penetrative shagging narrow-minded and exclusionary (for instance, classic penetrative shagging isn’t feasible for all people), it can also lead to bad shagging when you actually do get to penetration. People who need more warm-up time to be in the right mood, as well as those who struggle to orgas...

Here's How to Ask Your Partner for More Adventurous Shagging

Hey Emily! My boyfriend and I have been together for seven months and he is so hot and has the greatest penis I've ever seen, seriously! But our shagging life is meh. He's not very adventurous or spontaneous and when we make love, it doesn't last long. He's not very good at going down on me and I've tried to guide him but it's not really working. I've made suggestions but nothing really takes. One time, he even asked if I wore thongs, and I was like, "Hello?! How many times have you taken my clothes off or seen me get dressed and you don't know what underwear I wear?!" How can I get him to have adventurous shagging (i.e. outside of the bedroom, etc.) and not just think of shagging as a chore? —Amanda, 24 Dear Amanda, Listen, it seems to me that the real issue here is that you’re bored. You want passion and intimacy and spontaneity, but instead it sounds like your boyfriend is in and out, and off to sleep. There’s a v...

Most Overrated Shagging Acts

Image
Shagging is great, there’s no denying that. The arousal, the plateau, the climax — all great stuff. There’s the sweatiness, too, and what your hair looks like afterward. But despite all the wet and wonderful things in the wild and wacky world of shagging, if we hold up for a moment and take a genuine, clear-eyed stare at it from a reasonable distance, it’s hard not to recognize that some consensual shagging acts are, well, frankly overrated. Yes, there are lots of shagging acts that have been skating by on the strength of “hot by association” for too long. These actions have somehow convinced people they’re s3xy and fun, when really they’re boring, overly complicated, or just unrealistic and plain stupid. To bring those down a peg, here are the nine shagging acts we’ve deemed the most overrated (and why we believe that). 1. Reverse Cowgirl The genius porn director who first concocted the Reverse Cowgirl position was either a maniac, a demon or both. Minus the presence...
