Increasing Your Sex Drive as You Age
Sunday, June 21st, 2009Some of us women may find that our sexual drive starts to wane as we hit our 40s or 50s. There is nothing to be worried about because this is normal for women and, even in some cases, for men. Men, however, tend to hit this phase much later in life. Nevertheless, there is something that you can do if ever you do find your sexual drive waning. Here are a few tips to help you get your groove back.
First, determine the cause of the decline. In most us, the natural course of aging, menopause, and depression are common culprits. Some of us may lose our libido as a side effect of medication. Whatever the problem is, address it. Menopause and depression can be cured by medication. If medication is the source, then ask your physician to prescribe an alternative that does not have this side effect. If the problem has something to do with your spouse, talk it over with him. Go to couples counseling if necessary.
Try to rekindle the love by engaging in fun activities with your spouse. It does not have to involve sexual intimacy right away. Start by holding hands and go on from there. Try spending night-outs with him, drinking wine and setting the mood before sex.
In bed, there are many adult toys and adult props you can use to increase your libido. These can range from lubricants you can buy at the drug store to sex swings that can put you more in the mood.
