When you increase sex drive naturally, you’re entire life becomes harmonious.

“If you don’t use it, you lose it.”

“If you’re not horny, you’re not healthy.”

Heard of these well known quotes regarding sex drive? Well there is SOME truth to it.

Keep in mind: libido and sex drive is the same thing.

Choosing to increase your sex drive naturally has many benefits for your overall health– not just your sexual health. Since the mind, body and soul works together as one, low libido/sex drive can be a symptom of something being off in any of those areas.

Adjusting your lifestyle and addressing underlying issues such as medical issues, relationship issues like lack of communication, resentment and stress at work can change your sex life dramatically. Sex increases mood, focus, productivity, clarity, immune system, heart health and energy- these things clearly goes beyond the bedroom.

A healthy sex life means a healthy life. This is an ultimate guide has herbs for libido, foods that make you hornier and other ways to get a natural boost in the bedroom.

Let’s start with the reasons why you may have a low sex drive.

Causes of libido loss

  • Relationship problems. Doubts, worries, resentment and fear can kill desire. These emotions suppresses the production of oxytocin which is a hormone associated with love, trust and sexual arousal.
  • Stress and anxiety. Prolong exposure to cortisol- which is a stress hormone- can cause physical symptoms like high blood pressure. High blood pressure restricts blood flow. Blood flow is essential for sexual desire. Stress can cause many other physical ailments that kills desire.
  • Drugs and alcohol. “Sex, drugs and rock and roll” is very misleading. Substance abuse leads to loss of libido in many ways. We all know these things aren’t good for your health so if your health isn’t optimal, your genitals aint working. Even if you aren’t exactly and abuser or addict, ever heard of whiskey dick? Alcohol and drugs are depressants meaning lack of blood flow. Chronic drug and alcoholism can lead to chronic broken sex drive.
  • Unhealthy lifestyle. Processed foods, sugars, bad fats and chemicals knocks your hormones off balance like a MF. What you eat effects your mental health too. For instance, sugar and processed foods are linked to mental ailments such as cognitive decline, depression and anxiety.
  • Hormonal imbalance. Well this goes without saying since hormones are heavily involved with our sex life. You might have to go to your doctor for this one because hormone imbalance could be cancer, menopause, low testosterone, diabetes- it can mean anything and it’s above my pay grade.
  • Contraception. Birth control decreasing libido is comical. Birth control is supposed to decrease chances of getting pregnant after sex. But killing your libido makes you want to not have sex at all which is a 100% effective way to not get pregnant. Hormonal drugs can cause hormone dysregulation. 
  • Certain medications such as blood pressure medication and SSRIs affects libido greatly. That is the tricky thing about pharmaceuticals. Needed medications almost always have side effects.
  • Low self esteem/confidence. Not feeling desirable does the opposite of having desire. Low self esteem/confidence can also make you a little delusional. You think the world sees you the way YOU see you so if you think low of yourself, being around people that you think sees the same thing causes anxiety.
  • Sexual boredom. Would you go visit places you don’t like to go and not obligated to when you have free time? Would you rewatch a movie that you’ve seen and didn’t like? When you’re bored with sex, there’s nothing to get excited for.
  • Sedentary lifestyle. Things like sitting at a desk all day or just overall lack of movement decreases blood flow in the body. This affects your body image and confidence as well.

So what can you do to increase sex drive naturally?

Change your lifestyle. A healthy life style doesn’t only address your sex life, it addresses your overall well being. All of these tips below will change your life dramatically.

  1. Eat more protein. Eating protein helps produce peptide hormones. Peptide hormones helps the body regulate stress, reproduction and energy. Lack of protein lowers testosterone.
  2. Get enough sleep. Not getting enough sleep produces high cortisol levels- which is the stress hormone. Not sexy.
  3. Work out! Not only does the gym help you look good naked, working out reduces the risk of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance decreases blood flow by decreasing the blood vessel diameter. Enough said.
  4. Avoid sugar. Sugar is problematic for many reasons. But for sexual health, sugar lowers testosterone and causes hormonal imbalance in many other ways.
  5. Quit drinking and/or smoking. Or at least use these substances LESS. Both wreck havoc on your health and hormones. We already talked about whiskey dick above. It also decreases vaginal wetness.
  6. Manage stress. Stress is not only a libido killer, it can send you to an early grave. Do things you enjoy, meditate, get spa time, breathing exercises, yoga, walk in the park, getting a pet- find what works for you.
  7. Work on your confidence. Go to the gym, create a gratitude journal, change your style, go to therapy. Whatever you can do to boost your self esteem and recognize the value you have. We all have value, you just have to find your unique value and beauty. Step into your own power.
  8. Explore your sexuality. Maybe there is something about you that you haven’t discovered yet. Reading erotica, masturbating and watching porn that explores different taboos and kinks can awaken something in you that you didn’t know what is there. Learn who you are sexually. Maybe vanilla sex isn’t for you, maybe you like the opposite or the same sex and didn’t know- only YOU can figure that out.
  9. Rule out any underlying medical conditions. Like we said before, “If you’re not horny, you’re not healthy.” Find out with your health care provider.
