Tips to improve low sex drive in middle age
22 Feb 2019
A healthy sex life is crucial to a couple's overall mental, physical and emotional well-being.
However, with the passage of time, the sexual spark, that was there in the beginning, might begin to fade away in long-term relationships or marriages.
Although this is quite normal and happens to a lot of couples, here are tips to improve your libido in middle age.
Practise alternate intimacy
#1
Sometimes, taking the focus off the climax can help.
Couples who feel a reduced sense of sexual desire during middle age are advised to practise alternate forms of intimacy.
These could be anything from mutual massage to showering together, cuddling or even going on a date (yes!).
This will help improve the emotional equation between the partners, ultimately resulting in better sex.
Set the mood
#2
It is common sense that in long-term, things are bound to get routine and monotonous.
This implies that unlike new couples, you won't always be in the mood for sex.
So, what a couple needs here is to try and set the mood before getting busy under the sheets.
Among other activities, watching TV together, sitting for coffee, going for a walk, can help.
Forget insurance, talk about sex!
#3
Sexual communication is vital.
In long-term relationships, couples might start taking each other's likes and dislikes for granted. But unfortunately, it doesn't help.
It is imperative to consistently communicate about what you would and wouldn't like your partner to do, in bed.
If done right, sexual communication will help you in more satisfying as well as safer sex.
Take good care of your health
#4
A major cause for unsatisfying sex life in long-term relationships is bad mental or physical health, poor body image or lack of confidence.
That's why it is important to take care of your psychological as well as physical health.
Exercise regularly as it will keep you physically fit and improve your confidence.
Also, eat healthy. It'll help improve your performance in bed.
#5: Just have fun
Fact
At the end of the day, remember that sex is no competition, with anyone. As long as you and your partner are happy with what you're doing in bed, that's all what matters. So, be playful and try new things. Above all, just have fun.
