Do know if you are in a good place

Are you in a good place emotionally, psychologically, psychiatrically and physically? Before we can have a satisfying relationship and sex life, we need to be OK. We all need to deal with the skeletons in our closest, including: untreated depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, early child sexual abuse, anorexia, bulimia, substance abuse of every kind, pain with intercourse, etc. Anything that interferes with the quality of our lives and our relationships, we must be sure that we are OK with our mental and physical well being. Only after you take care of yourself, can you start to have a satisfying and sexual relationship.

Do know if you are happy with your relationship

All couples have their ups and down. However, when problems pile up and are not acknowledged, addressed and resolved, they will not magically disappear on their own. Couples are left feeling angry, frustrated and depressed. The majority of women will simply not feel like jumping into bed and having sex when they are feeling animosity toward their partner. Couples on an on-going basis need to discuss, negotiate, compromise and come up with win/win solutions to problems.

And men must remember that their wives require about 20 minutes of manual and oral stimulation, including hugs and kisses and caresses before they will be sufficiently aroused to the point of wanting intercourse. And don’t forget about emotional foreplay. I love you. I appreciate you. You look beautiful. Can I help you with the kids and the dishes? All of these expressions of love translate into women wanting to be physically close. Dates for sex also help couples to look forward to spending alone, intimate time together.

Do not let prescription drugs control your sex life

Is your prescription medication negatively affecting your sex life? Many drugs have sexual side effects. You need to be proactive and talk to your doctor. Frequently, a change in the dose or the family of the drug can make a huge difference in your level of sexual desire and performance.

Do not excessively use drugs or alcohol

Alcohol is a depressant. Excessive use of alcohol frequently interferes with men’s ability to maintain and sustain an erection. And remember that long-term use of recreational drugs, including marijuana and cocaine, can also adversely affect your sex life.

Do not let daily life get in the way

Are you letting your life get in the way of your sex life? These days people are running around non-stop. Children, jobs, financial challenges, our constant use of cell phones, computers occupy most people’s days and nights. We need to slow down. Your relationship and your children need to be at the top of the list of our priorities. It’s a juggling act. However, it is very important for couples to invest more time in their relationships and their sex lives. The consequences of not doing so are dire.

Do not forget that hormones can affect your sex life

As men and women age their hormone levels can change dramatically. A decrease in your estrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels can contribute to diminished sexual desire, less energy, problems with sleep and erratic mood. It is very important to ask your doctor about hormone testing. And if your hormones need a boost, there are natural hormone remedies that can really make a difference in how you feel sexually.
