3 ways to jumpstart your sex drive

It's totally normal to encounter declines in your libido from time to time. Lack of sleep, fluctuating hormones, stress, exhaustion, and physical or emotional health can all impact sexual desire.

But if your sex drive is starting to impact your relationship, it might be time to take action. Below are eight ways to get your sexy back.

A lot of people feel that the only way they should experience desire is from their partner. And it's somehow dishonest if you're relying on a fantasy or masturbating before you go to bed to feel more aroused. If this increases your desire and you enjoy it, do it!

Pleasure doesn't always have to mean penetrative sex. There may be times when you don't really feel like having sex – but it's important to focus on the things that you do find pleasurable. This may be kissing, lying in bed naked together or even giving or receiving oral sex.

Remind yourself that most of us are not having orgasmic sex all the time. It doesn't matter how often you do it, but if you like it. If it's not bothering you or your partner, then it's not a problem. Push yourselves when things are good, but be kind and forgiving when things aren't.
