Stress is a libido killer for most women.
When most women are stressed, sex is the farthest thing from their minds.
And it makes sense.
Because when you are stressed, your body is giving you feedback.
It’s saying:
We need rest.
We need to unwind.
So even if a woman loves her husband, wants sex, and wants things to be better in the bedroom, as long as there’s consistent stress in her life, her body may not feel available for sex.
And sex can start to feel like another chore she has to tick off the list.
Please notice that I said most women.
There are some women for whom sex is a source of stress relief, rather than a source of additional stress – but not every woman is like that.
So my dear woman, if stress is the reason for your libido drop, here are
5 ways to reduce the pressure so your body can feel rested, relaxed, and your desire can show up again:
– Evaluate your daily schedule and identify your main sources of overwhelm. Reduce overwhelm FIRST (this is the culprit) before trying to increase desire.
– Instead of thinking, “I don’t want sex” think, “What would help my body move into a state where I am open to pleasure?”
– Protect your nervous system from constant pressure – give your body daily moments of real rest, not just sleep.
– Allow desire to rebuild gradually. Don’t force it.
– Discuss with your spouse the type of intimate acts you enjoy, so sex becomes something you actively enjoy and anticipate.
I hope these helps.
