Things that are Killing Sexual Drive

Having a low sex drive can be a real problem not just for you but for your relationship

as well. Turning to your partner or your doctor for a chat about this issue can be even harder to deal with. This is why most people tend to ignore the problem and expect the time to fix it. But this is not an aspect that you should underestimate! And there are definitely reasons that cause a low sex drive and you should change before they have dramatic consequences. Once you identify the root of the problem, dealing with the effects will be much easier! So, here are some of the most common reasons for a low sex drive and how you can avoid them completely!

1. Too many addictions

Drugs, porn, caffeine, alcohol, the list goes on and on when it comes to what is done too much can definitely damage your sex life! We already know that nothing is good if it is done in excess and this applies to all the areas of our life. Too much work can also damage our sex drive just as much as consuming too much caffeine! Having one too many coffees a day can increase the level of your anxiety and even lead to depression which has a direct impact on your sex drive. Try to keep a balance in all the aspects of your life and make sure to have time and interest for your intimacy as well.

2. An emotional imbalance

If you are not well emotionally you will not be able to entertain a quality sex life with your partner. Make sure to take care of your emotional side before you focus on the intimate one. If you have any deeper emotional issues, talking with your partner and maybe a therapist can make a big difference! Also, if your emotional issue is directly connected to your partner and your relationship, your sex drive will be the first to suffer. When the connection between two people is damaged, sex can’t be a quality one either.

3. A boring sex life

If your relationship entered a sexual routine, you might lose interest fast in your sexual life. Men and women tend to have a higher sex drive when their curiosity is sparkled. This doesn’t mean that you lost interest in your partner but only that you lost interest in your sexual scenes. To fix this issue before it damages your relationship even more, introduce some sex toys and accessories to your intimate moments. You can add more versions of sexual stimulation by using nipple clamps, butt plugs and even an orgasm belt. All these will increase the excitement during your sexual encounters and will give you something to look forward to. Dive into some new fetishes with your partner as well, to spice up your sex life and you can even introduce a pair of handcuffs to add some intensity to your intimate life!

4. Certain medication

If you are following a treatment, this can have a direct impact on your sex drive as well. It is important to be able to identify such a cause so that your partner will not take your lack of interest very personal. Anti-depressants are number one cause of a lack of sex drive for many couples. Before you follow such a medical treatment make sure to talk to your doctor and see if there is a risk to affect your sex drive because it is always better to prevent it rather than fix it. If you have to take medication with direct effect on your intimate life, make sure to tell your partner ahead of time so that they will also know what to expect and not be so affected by your new behavior. Sometimes, medical treatments can’t be avoided, but their effects can be better understood by everyone involved if you research their effects right and stay informed and in touch with your body.
