Does having occasional sex make you want it less?

Once you pop, the fun doesn’t stop. Meanwhile, going through a dry spell might be agonizing at first, but eventually, you completely stop thinking about sex – or wanting it.

And while that’s not necessarily a bad thing, we couldn’t help but wonder why, exactly, you lose it when you don’t use it.

Biologically speaking, regular sex boosts your blood flow down below, leading to increased lubrication. Plus, feel-good hormones like oxytocin and endorphins are released during sex, which taps into the pleasure capital of the brain and leaves you yearning more.

But wait, there’s more. Not thinking about sex on the reg might also mean you’re focusing on stressors and pressures, all of which are serious lady sex killers.

So just do it. Allowing someone to get close to you can put you in the mood, even if you feel pretty bad leading up to it. Another easy fix: Small changes in a relationship can re-spark sexuality along with the passion.

So trying something new, like taking a workout class together could change everything.
