Expert reveals watermelon could be the key to improving your sex drive
MAINTAINING a consistent libido comes naturally to some, but for many, a robust sex drive requires effort. Hormones, stress, anxiety, contraception, and various factors can influence libido, making it challenging to ignite desire.
Sexual wellness platform Bedbible offers expert-curated tips to revive your passion and excitement.
Boost libido with food. For a heightened libido, consider these food items: Watermelon, abundant in B vitamins, offers Viagra-like effects, relaxation, and mood elevation. Fatty Fish, including omega-3 acids, vitamin B6, and dopamine, stimulates blood flow and arousal. Strawberries, rich in vitamin C, notably amplify sex drive, particularly in men. Dark chocolate-covered strawberries provide flavonoids that relax blood vessels, setting the stage for an intimate mood.
De-stress. Prioritize self-care to relax and enhance your enjoyment of sex. Share hidden stresses with a partner or friend for relief. Allocate daily time for self-care activities like baths or walks to regain independence and calmness.
Explore foreplay. Concentrate on foreplay, especially when feeling less inclined. Feel-good hormones from foreplay reduce stress and heighten the moment. Kissing releases oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin, fostering comfort. Incorporating toys into foreplay readies your body and mind. Sharing solo-play toys with a partner can elevate both moods.
Understand your preferences. Recognize what turns you on and off. Communicate with partners about preferences to enhance shared experiences.
Explore arousal aids. Everybody is different, which is great but can also cause confusion in the bedroom. Something that turns you on might not be someone else’s go-to, which is why it’s important to express to your sexual partner or partners what you like and what you would prefer to avoid.
