Men are reputed to have a higher sex drive than women. But is this based on real evidence or is it “urban knowledge”?
Men are supposed to think about sex a lot more than women, but again, where’s the evidence? Is sex drive based on thinking about sex, wanting sex or actually having sex? Let us know your opinion.
What factors impact our sex drive?
To feel sexy, there are “internal” factors like feeling good about yourself, being relaxed and feeling confident and attractive. External factors for feeling sexy include the right place (a sexy nightclub or an exotic holiday location). Low sex drive can be caused through internal factors such as tiredness, stress or feeling trapped in a job, location or relationship.
External factors affecting sex drive include clothes (it’s difficult to feel sexy if you have no nice clothes to wear), domestic location (such as living in a grotty house or flat) and children.
Increasing your sex drive
It may be you have a low sex drive because of your biochemical make up, and that may or may not be a problem for you or your partner. To increase your feelings of sexiness and attractiveness, make time for yourself away from the regular routine of work, job, friends and family. Get dressed up from time to time, go out and pay other people compliments on how nice they look.
While that may seem a strange thing to do, the more you compliment other people the more they will compliment you. The more you get complimented by other people (male and female) the better you’ll feel about yourself, and the sexier and more attractive you’ll feel.
Visit your doctor if you have problems
If you have a mismatched sex drive or problems in that area it’s always worth having a chat with your doctor who may in turn refer you to a specialist, therapist or counsellor. If you are experiencing a dramatic change in sex drive, something has happened in your life to change that.
A mismatched sex drive can cause resentment, anger and frustration in a relationship. Don’t let the problems become major ones before you seek outside help.
