What To Do If Your Partner Shows Less Interest In Sex

lifestyle desk lifestyle desk | 05-09 00:11

It’s commonly believed that women have less sexual interest compared to men, but this is a misconception. Women are just as interested in physical intimacy as men. They have the same sexual desires and needs. However, it’s important to note that not all women have the same level of sexual desire.

Factors such as hormonal changes, physical health conditions, and psychological factors can contribute to variations in women’s sex drive. Also, there might be reduced libido in men as well and the woman in the relationship may be craving for more. Either way, it is time to get your partner’s sex drive back on track and these suggestions might help.

Talk About It

Addressing the issue openly is crucial. If you desire more sexual connection, it’s important to discuss it. However, it’s essential to approach the conversation in a non-confrontational manner. This allows both partners to express their feelings and concerns openly and respectfully.

Whisper In Their Ear

Whispering erotic words and phrases in the ear has long been associated with turning on both men and women. You can try and put it to the test.

A Passionate Kiss

A passionate smooch might just be the tip of the iceberg when trying to stimulate your partner’s sex drive. Anthropologist Helen Fisher suggests that mouth-to-mouth kissing involves the exchange of saliva, which contains testosterone, known to boost our sex drive. Additionally, kissing triggers the release of brain hormones dopamine and oxytocin, both of which foster bonding and attachment among human beings.

Know Your Partner’s Weak Spots

When the right emotions are elicited, our bodies become receptive to “erogenous zones,” which typically remain inactive during routine daily activities. From an academic perspective, “erogenous zones” refer to specific areas of our body that are highly sensitive to sexual stimulation. They uniquely respond to touch, especially when initiated by a special person at a particular moment. It is up to you to discover your partner’s erogenous zones.

Take a Shower Together

Many couples have been found to have a better sex life when they initiate a bout of intimacy by taking a shower together in the buff. You can try the same with your partner.

Consider Their Medical Cabinet

Lastly, if your partner’s reduced libido is the result of an external factor, check whether they recently started a new medication such as anti-depressants that might be doing a number on their sex drive. Talk to them about it and talk to a doctor or medical expert who can prescribe a medication without damaging one’s sexual drive.
