Husband and wife can enjoy a bright future if they do it together

To improve sexual desire, many people only try to improve the sexual desire of men or women unilaterally, but improving sexual desire is not a one-person thing. Both husband and wife need to improve their sexual desire. Studies show that about a third of women and 15% of men lack sexual desire, so both spouses should work to improve their sexual desire. So what should couples do in daily life to increase their sexual desire? Here are 10 methods, let’s take a look.

1. Plan more couples dates. Every weekend, couples always stay at home watching TV and surfing the Internet, which kills their sexual desire. If couples have more weekend dates, going out together for an old-fashioned date, to a movie or out to dinner, can help rekindle romance and recapture the warmth of first love. In order for the "couple date" to proceed smoothly, the children can be left in the care of a nanny or family member.

2. Change your birth control method. Hormonal changes seriously affect libido, and birth control pills can reduce testosterone production in the body, which in turn reduces libido. Some birth control pills can also cause painful intercourse. Therefore, talking to your doctor about switching to a different form of birth control may help improve your sex drive.

3. Check other medications. In addition to birth control pills, certain prescription medications can be key causes of decreased libido. For example, anti-hypertensive drugs, antacids (for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease), anti-anxiety drugs and antidepressants. If a medication is the most likely culprit, talk to your doctor about switching to another one that has fewer side effects.

4. Share the housework. After a busy day at work, couples have to go home and do another "full-time job" - taking care of their children. After the children go to bed, they may still be busy with work to bring home, and "marital intimacy" is forced to take a back seat. If both spouses have to work, it is best for them to share the housework equally to avoid exhaustion and loss of sexual interest caused by one person doing all the housework.

5. Turn your bedroom into a "romantic space for two". Children may climb into their parents' bed because of nightmares, and some people also like to bring their pet cats or dogs to bed. Little do people know that these will become "sexual interest killers". Therefore, in order to maintain a normal sex life for couples, it is best to lock the bedroom. This will make both parties more relaxed and feel that the environment is more sexy and romantic.

6. Put sex on your “to-do list”. Things like doctor appointments, meeting arrangements, and gatherings with friends, and sex should also be included in the "important matters". While it’s not the most romantic option, setting aside specific time for couple intimacy is actually a concrete commitment to maintaining an active sex life as a couple. This will make it even less likely that you will find excuses for yourself.

7. Use lubricant. Pain during sexual intercourse can lead to loss of sexual interest. Vaginal dryness is usually a major cause of pain during sexual intercourse. It is recommended to try silicone lubricants or vaginal moisturizers. Silicone lubricants last longer and are more moisturizing than water-based lubricants. If the pain during sexual intercourse does not improve after using lubricants, you should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination.

8. Reduce stress before sex. Everyday stressors like work situations, kids' grades, and leaky faucets may have more of an impact on your sex life than people realize. Excessive stress can cause the body to secrete too much cortisol, the "fight or flight hormone", which in turn suppresses sexual desire. Therefore, before sex, you should relax and relieve stress by taking a bath, reading a book or listening to music.

9. Eat more heart-protective foods. Eating a heart-healthy diet can help improve the quality of your sex life. There is a significant link between high cholesterol and difficulty with sexual arousal and orgasm in women. The reason is that cholesterol buildup in the arteries reduces blood flow to the sexual organs, thus affecting sexual desire and making it difficult to reach orgasm. Eating more fruits and vegetables and reducing the intake of animal fat and full-fat dairy products can help lower cholesterol levels.

10. Eat some "aphrodisiac foods". A growing body of research suggests that regularly eating foods rich in certain vitamins and nutrients can enhance sexual function and desire. Foods such as avocados, almonds, strawberries, watermelons, and oysters are all common "aphrodisiac foods."

Sexual life cannot be without sexual desire. If there is no sexual desire, the life of the couple will gradually lose passion, and the marriage life will be affected. Both husband and wife need to increase their sexual desire. Only when sex and happiness are improved can the harmony of couple's sex life be guaranteed.
