No sex drive

oldercouple32016159.jpgThere are a number of factors that can contribute to a lower sex drive, but that does not mean you have to live a life without libido. So, here are a few tips for dealing with the troubling symptoms of not having a sex drive:

Try something new. No matter how much you like a certain restaurant, chances are you don't want to eat it for every meal. The same is true of sex. No matter how much you like it, if you never mix it up and try something new it can get boring or mundane, and your desire for it may curb. Keep this analogy in mind when considering your sex life. What can you do to change things up some? Consider investing in a positions book, or trying something new in your relationship like role play, toys, lingerie, new places, etc. There are all kinds of ways that you can change things up. Make it a priority.

Release stress and tension. Stress is a big sex drive killer. If you want to improve your sex drive it is important that you find constructive ways to get rid of the stress that is building up in your body and distracting you. Exercise is a great form of stress release. You may want to implement a regular exercise program into your routine. Often adding some fun into your life can help you to reduce stress and increase sex drive. Try picking up a hobby or spending some you time every day where you do something you enjoy. Eating healthy and getting plenty of rest are also key components of reducing and releasing stress and tension.

Check to see if it is physiological. Sometimes no sex drive can be attributed to things like hormonal imbalances, or other problems in your body. Talk to your doctor about your lack of sex drive. They may be able to help you determine the cause and remedy it with a prescription, new birth control, or other form of treatment. As you age, your sex drive slows naturally, but any extreme change, or unexpected change in sex drive could be a symptom of a more serious problem. Do not let embarrassment over talking about sex get in the way of your seeking the health advice you may need. Your physician is not going to make fun of you, and chances are they will be able to help you, so what do you have to lose?

A healthy sexual drive is an important part of an intimate relationship. When couples find their sex drive is diminishing, they often find other problems start to creep up as well. If your partner is not wanting to have sex, you often blame yourself and question whether or not they find you attractive. This can lead to insecurities and other relationship problems. So, do not ignore a decrease in sex drive, instead do what you can to have a healthy libido.
