Rebecca is career oriented woman. She leads a very hectic lifestyle managing her house, kids and the office. After spending long hours at the office, she returns home works out something for dinner and spends time with her kids. At the end of the tiring day, hopping into the bed means one thing ……Sleep.
Is your hectic lifestyle taking a toll on the level of intimacy that you share with your partner? Do you spend less time with your partner cuddling each other? Is sex the last thing in your mind these days? Or if you don’t remember the last time you felt like having sex with a partner, you are probably suffering from low sex drive. Low sexual desire among couples is one of the biggest issues in achieving intimacy and can be one of the reasons that can kill a relationship.
There are many factors that contribute to a low sex drive. Here, we have compiled a list of most common reasons for a low libido.
- Stress
Stress is one of the biggest sex drive killer. Stress at work place, household problems, financial troubles can take a toll on your sex life. It has been seen that couples who worry about sexual performance or fear of pregnancy can also dampen their sex drives.
What you can do:
The irony is that having sex is known as a stress buster. But if you are stressed and have a low libido, you can practice relaxation techniques such as pranayam and yoga. Eat a healthy diet, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly and sleep at least 8 hours a night. With a healthy body and mind, you can keep your problems from intruding your bedroom.
- Obesity
Obesity is directly related to low sexual desires. Studies suggest that in over weight men, fat cells produce estrogen- female hormone that reduces the sex drive.
What you can do:
You should work at exercising everyday not only for your general health, but for your sex life. Losing weight can lead to better sex.
- Lack of sleep
Studies suggest that lack of sleep creates fatigue and fatigue saps sex drive. Lack of sleep can be caused due to irregular work routines, fatigue, etc.
What you can do:
It is suggested that you should try re scheduling your daily schedule in manner that does not interfere with your sleeping patterns. If its insomnia or sleep apnea that is causing sleeplessness, you can take suitable treatment to overcome the problem.
- Relationship problems
Emotional attachment plays a very important role in sexual passion, particularly for women. Resentment, unresolved conflicts, constant arguments can create a negative feeling and dampen your desire for sex.
What you can do:
Communication is the key to a good relationship. It is important that you talk to your partner about your problems before it grows and explodes into a real conflict. Select a time and quiet place where you can both air your complaints and listen to each other without any distractions. If talking to one another does not work, consider seeking professional counseling to overcome your issues.
