How to increase your wife’s libido during the menopause

Cook in the kitchen to spice things up in the bedroom

Menopause is often a phase of a woman’s life that is dreaded by the husband just as much as it is the women who is about to experience it firsthand. Why? Well, unfortunately, during this period, women can experience a whole range of physical, emotional and psychological symptoms which are likely to affect the man’s life as well as the woman’s. They begin to get shouted at a lot more, they might have to do more chores because their wife is struggling to find the energy, they often have to put up with a disruptive night’s sleep because of their wives sweats, and some will get a lot less action in the bedroom than they once did.

Loss of libido is very common during menopause, and most women find it a frustrating and embarrassing time because they find it difficult to understand why they don’t feel the desire or need to be sexually active with their partner. It is your job, as that partner, to be supportive and understanding. However, it doesn’t mean you can’t be proactive and try to turn them on. Read on to learn how you can combine appetite, aphrodisiacs, and attention to feed an aching sexual hunger!

Easy steps to deal with your partner’s loss of libido:

Believe it or not, creating the right mood in the kitchen and at the dinner table can make for quite a racy night in the bedroom if you use the right foods and set the right atmosphere. Read on to find out what you can do to get your sex life back on board again:

How can food and table manners cook up a storm in the bedroom?

Your wife may well be suffering from other menopausal symptoms too, so bear this in mind and make a kind gesture by suggesting you will cook dinner. If she is suffering with fatigue, for example, she may not have the energy to cook, so she will appreciate the offer and it will put her in a happy mood. Tell her to take a long soak in the bath whilst you cook so she can de-stress.

Create the right mood

Symptoms of menopause are lessened in severity if the woman is de-stressed because stress is a major trigger for further hormonal imbalance. Set an atmosphere that will allow your wife to be relaxed. Organize for the children to be in bed or out for the evening so that you can have some alone time, and put on some relaxing but upbeat music in the background. Setting sensual lighting can also make the mood more intimate allowing your wife to unwind.

Show off your skills

Your wife will be suitably impressed, and perhaps even turned on, if she can see that you are a master in the kitchen. Show off your skills and pay attention to detail. It is likely that your wife will find you even more attractive if you know your way around the kitchen and can cook with ease. Maybe have a practice run before making it for her.

Cook with the right foods

Create a meal that includes some aphrodisiacs but also combines some of her favorite foods. Foods that are high in zinc like oysters and salmon will increase the levels of testosterone as will foods that are high in Vitamin E like asparagus. It might be worth you chomping into some celery sticks whilst you are cooking too because celery contains androsterone which is an odorless hormone that can turn women on when released through male perspiration.

Take dessert to the bedroom

It is important, especially during menopause, that any sexual activity is taken at a slow pace because women need to be suitably aroused before they can rush into intercourse. Foreplay is always a good way of increasing blood flow to the genital area and can be initiated over the dinner table. Pick a dessert that is easy to feed to one another and then move the action into the bedroom. Additionally, be aware that with loss of libido sometimes comes vaginal dryness, so buy lubrication beforehand (just in case) and just be appreciative that it may take slightly longer for your wife to be sexual aroused than normal. However, after star treatment all night from the man she loves, she will be feeling very relaxed and happy and ready to give something back in return.
