Stress and anxiety can affect the state of the mind and body. Inevitably life sex was also affected. Even sexpert Annabelle Knight calls stress poison. Stress can take away pleasure and pleasure during sex.
“Stress can have a very negative effect on libido and the ability to orgasm,” Knight quoted from saying Women and Home.
Very ironic, but orgasm can help you relieve stress. Therefore, there are some tips for satisfying sex even if you are under stress and anxiety.
1. Morning is the best time
Sex at night may feel tiring because of the energy and mind drained from work. ‘Morning sex’ aka sex in the morning can be a solution. Sammi Cole, a sex expert at Lovehoney, says sex in the morning is like a morning exercise session.
“While coffee will provide a moment of energy boost in a sluggish morning, orgasm is a healthier and much more enjoyable way to boost in the morning,” says Cole.
2. Snack fresh fruit
Stress often makes people want to eat sweet snacks. Stephanie Taylor, an expert on intimate health, says an unhealthy lifestyle will damage libido. Unhealthy lifestyles include consumption of foods high in saturated fat, refined sugar, alcoholic beverages and smoking habits.
We recommend that you choose snacks and foods that can increase your libido. Taylor says libido-boosting foods are usually called aphrodisiacs.
“A diet rich in whole grains, nuts, avocado, green leafy vegetables, fresh fruit and nuts can help. Also choose low alcohol drink alternatives,” added Taylor.
Aphrodisiac foods will work to pump up libido. Knight said aphrodisiacs create a sense of an enhanced sexual condition.
“They also work by producing chemicals linked to sexual desire. Sometimes just thinking of an aphrodisiac can work as a whole,” he explained.
3. Do whatever relaxes you
Sex has no fixed rules. Sex frees you to experiment with your partner. Even when you are stressed, you can make intimate moments a moment to make yourself comfortable.
“If that means dimming the lights or leaving your clothes on, go for it. Anything that relaxes you will help you achieve orgasm,” explains Knight.

“Take the time to focus on yourself. Take a long bath instead of a shower. Or invest in some home beauty treatments and wear your favorite underwear set,” she adds.
4. Sports
According to Taylor, exercise is one way to boost libido. A fitness routine can increase your energy and make you more physically active during sex.
“Aerobic exercise, such as running, cycling and swimming, can also improve blood circulation throughout the body, including the intimate area. Better blood flow can increase your chances of reaching climax,” he explained.
5. Make sex more fun
Some couples still see sex as a mandatory activity. Just imagine, having sex at the same time, the same position and the same location. Why not try something different?
“Look for rock sex positions on the internet and write instructions to do it and put it in the container. Take one at a time each week and see the effect on your libido,” said Knight.
