Tips for dealing with complete loss of libido

An embarrassing and stressful symptom of menopause is a loss of libido. Alongside hot flashes, night sweats and irregular periods it is one of the most common complaints. Often a domino effect of other signs and symptoms, many people need to find tips for dealing with the complete loss of libido. Half of all women, and about a quarter of men, report it at some stage of their life but everybody experiences peaks and troughs in their sexual relationship.

Food

We’ve all heard about the use of raw oysters and chocolate to spice things up a notch but what about the unsung heroes of revitalizing your libido?

Asparagus is great for increasing testosterone production which is crucial to a good sex life for women and men.

Eggs balance hormones and reduce stress. Stress makes sex seem like a chore and needs to be controlled.

Avocado and bananas are super foods that the world is suggesting everybody should eat for many reasons. Full of vitamins, and in avocado’s case healthy fats, they stimulate glands and lend themselves to hormonal balance.

Fish is brilliant for getting that omega-3 boost that your body needs during menopause. Aside from oysters, canned salmon and tuna promote good body health.

Bedroom tricks

By rekindling the passion through nights in, or nights out, you will increase your desire naturally. In the bedroom you should look into: foreplay, experiments and stimulants. These will all increase blood flow and sensitivity in the genital area. Don’t be embarrassed to try something different and lubrication will help to aid sex, especially if vaginal dryness is one of your major issues.

Go to the gym

Going to the gym and doing weight training is widely thought to boost your loss of libido during menopause. By increasing testosterone whilst also pumping more blood around the body you will increase your self-image and sexual desire.

Help your image

Many menopausal women feel that their looks have changed because of menopause. Although this often isn’t true, it might be worth trying to get a new look or change your image. If you’ve always wanted to blonde or fancy better nails then give it a whirl. Many women find a change in appearance leads to an increased sexual desire.

Be socially active

Some menopausal women like to go into their shell as the transition approaches and is in full swing. Don’t. Being stuck in a social rut is not a good place to be so get on the phone to a friend, check out the new coffee shop or just engage with somebody. By being more active you will be more likely to increase your libido.
