Make married life more romantic. Here are 7 natural ways to increase sexual passion

JAKARTA – Libido or low sexual arousal is a common problem faced by both women and men. According to Very Well Mind, low sexual arousal in men is usually caused by low hormone levels, drug use, depression, chronic diseases and stress.

However, you don’t have to worry. There are a number of ways to increase sexual arousal in both men and women naturally, without the need for medication. Let’s take a look at the following secret, quoted by VOI from Everyday Health on Friday, July 5.

Take your time when you have a lot of sex. “It’s hard to be in a good mood when you’re busy and have little time for sex,” says Dr. Anita Sadaty, MD, a holistic gynecologist in Roslyn, New York.

Make sure you allow yourself enough time to do something calming before you start your “core activities.” Women in particular need to relax before their libido increases.

If your mind is constantly battling with negative things that reduce desire for sex, such as body shapes, now is the time to stop doing that. When the thought comes up, redirect it to more useful thoughts.

Thinking positively during sex can increase sexual desire. To make sex even more enjoyable, you can tell your partner what turns you on, set healthy sexual boundaries, and act out sexual fantasies.

Dry vaginas are common in women ages 18 to 50. A number of factors can cause vaginal dryness, including decreased hormone levels due to menopause, breastfeeding, and certain treatments.

Sex can be more enjoyable when you use lubricant, which reduces friction and irritation that cause discomfort, the gynecologists said. Lubricants can be purchased at the drugstore or you can use coconut oil. Be sure to use latex-free condoms if you use coconut oil, as this oil can damage latex.

Physical activity also has a positive effect on sexual satisfaction. Men with erectile dysfunction, for example, can often see an improvement in their condition when they make lifestyle changes that include physical activity. In women, research shows that physical activity can also increase sexual function. One study found that women who engage in regular physical activity (one to six hours per week) have higher levels of desire, passion and sexual arousal than women who do not exercise.

Lack of sleep can negatively affect libido. One reason for this is that hormone secretion is controlled by the body’s internal clock, and sleep patterns likely help the body determine when to release certain sex hormones.

Whether you’re a man or a woman, tiredness reduces libido. In addition, research has shown that in women, more sleep is associated with greater sexual desire the next day. And an extra hour of sleep leads to 14 percent more sex with a partner.

Acupuncture practices can also increase sexual arousal. Balancing and relaxing the body with acupuncture has long been used to increase libido, says Baljit Kmilang, ND, a naturopathic physician and assistant professor of naturopathic medicine at Bastyr University California in San Diego.

Dr. Kmilang was involved in a study in which 35 men and women with sexual dysfunction, possibly caused by the antidepressants they were taking, were treated with nine acupuncture sessions. At the end, the women’s libido increased, while the men’s erectile function, ejaculation time and ability to orgasm improved. In another study, a six-week acupuncture treatment with 18 sessions resulted in a significant improvement in erectile dysfunction in men.

By experimenting with yourself, you can better figure out what satisfies you sexually. You can then pass this information on to your partner. For women, prostitution has other benefits as well. Vaginal dryness and pain can be reduced if you take the time to stimulate yourself, notes the Cleveland Clinic.

That’s why sex therapists often recommend intimidation as an aid to women who have difficulty achieving orgasm. To increase stimulation, you can also use a vibrator.
