Summer is known as a feel-good season. And something about summer makes us more interested in love — or, in some cases, lust. How can we libido just now (when it is sometimes almost too hot to get off) is higher?
More sense
It’s not that strange that we are currently have more sex drive than in other seasons. Intimacy specialist Holly Robinson I’m not a sex therapist Bat Sheva Marcus declare against Metro UK that it is because our body then produces more serotonin and dopamine. These feel-good hormones get a boost from the sun. Our skin also produces more vitamin D through the sun. Which is not only good for strong bones, teeth and muscles, but it also improves mood and sex drive. And there are a few more things that make us want to hang in the chandeliers with our partner / free range / quail.
“Add to those things that your partner perspires more in the summer. This releases pheromones that play a major role in sexual attraction,” say the experts. And of course the obvious: your partner wears less clothes.
No more sex
We may have a higher libido, but it does not result in more sex. Research by Nature & Bloom shows that people are currently go off the rails less than last year. It all has to do with the times we live in. According to research by the Mental Health Foundation, 74 percent (!) of people are currently feeling stress. And if anything puts a damper on your sex life, that’s it.
“You will not have satisfying or intimate sex if you day-to-day life is plagued by stress of anxietyRobinson explains. People who experience stress at work will notice this in particular. “They often feel less connected to their bodies because they have to focus on keeping their heads above water.” For women, it often has another negative effect. “It makes it more difficult to experience pleasure, so many women (who are stressed, ed.) Can’t reach a climax when they do have sex.”
If this applies to you, Robinson recommends coping with your stress as much as possible. Although that is of course easier said than done. Could you use a little help with stress management? Then it is always good to consult a specialist.
