The problem is a lot of people have sexual dysfunctions. A sexual problem is very common. Men over the age of 40 have sexual dysfunction. While 40% of women have sexual dysfunction at some point in their lives.
The most shocking statistic is that 75% of men and women with sexual dysfunctions are untreated.
If your sex life sucks, here are some solutions according to sex therapists to cure sexual dysfunctions, improve libido, and have more pleasurable sex.
Drink water before sex
Your body depends on a healthy flow of blood and oxygen to the penis to achieve and maintain an erection.
Dehydration causes the arteries in your body to constrict, reducing blood flow, which can make it more difficult to perform at your best.
Not drinking enough water can also leave you feeling cranky, fatigued, or too tired to have sex.
Staying hydrated is the best thing you can do to improve your sex life.
Experts recommend drinking water 12 to 24 hours before you begin sexual intercourse so that the water reaches every cell.
You can check if you are drinking enough by observing the color of your urine. Drink more water if it is dark yellow in color.
Eat foods that stimulate your body
The food you eat affects every vital organ in your body — and yes, that includes your feminine parts.
Honestly, the vagina doesn’t take much to keep it clean, but you need to eat the right foods and drinks to keep your vagina healthy, relieve discomfort, prevent infections, and even spice things up a bit between the sheets.
Good sex depends largely on the blood circulation in your body, which is made or marred by the food you eat. Foods that help pump blood around the body correctly add to your sexual prowess.
Whether it’s fish or oysters, they contain the delicious sex drug! Fish is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which boost your metabolism and keep you cool. It has also been found to stimulate the dopamine hormone that illuminates the brain’s pleasure system.
Plus, it even contains B vitamins related to fertility. Known for their aphrodisiac properties, oysters are the richest source of zinc that nourishes the prostate and boosts testosterone production in men.
Relax your mind and body
Sex and stress don’t bode well. Stress creates stagnant energy and hinders the ability to enjoy sex.
Sex is an emotional feeling. The act of physically touching your partner helps create intimacy and relieves stress.
Head massage is an active stimulant that can help calm down an overactive mind as it also encourages blood to flow more freely throughout the body.
Subsequently, massaging the hands, ears, and feet can relieve tensed nervous system. Since there are over 7,000 nerves end in the feet, it will be a good idea to give your feet a good rub every now and then.
Be confident in your body
Sex appeal is about physical attributes, but with a pinch of glamour. Your fashion is a statement, and it enhances your personality. As a female, definitely consider pencil skirts and waist-defining sashes, belts, or pleating in both your date wear and lingerie.
Choose make-up that compliments your skin tone. A touch of red will make your lips look luscious. If you’re not into the red from head to toe, try a red earring or necklace.
Pick a fashion style that will make you confident because confidence, self-assurance, and a little calmness are the best accessories to sexy attire.
Sex is an amazing experience that you can share and enjoy all your life.
Don’t assume that sexual activity has to decline as you age. All you need is an ace up your sleeve to make the bedroom fun rocking again.
Make sure to prepare your body each time before sex to get maximum satisfaction.
