Stress can lead to the release of hormones like cortisol and epinephrine which in high levels, can impact sex drive.
Physiological and psychological effects like feeling frazzled and uninterested in sex - be it alone or with a partner can be a sign you need to take a moment for YOU.
The benefits of factoring in some 'you time' could be the best thing you can do - put yourself at the top of your to-do list.👏 Whether it be lighting some of your favourite candles and incense sticks for some aromatherapy, going to your favourite exercise class, or making more time for pleasure.
The benefits of orgasm can combat stress by giving your body feel-good hormones like oxytocin which is known as the 'love' or 'cuddle' hormone and can decrease stress. Feeling more in tune with your body and taking steps to manage your stress is a positive step.
The past year has been challenging and a lot of people have struggled with mental health, this affects so many aspects of your life and sex isn’t an exception.
Stresses and anxieties from day to day life can easily affect libido and/or interest in sex at all - this is normal and you are not alone.
Find what makes you feel good and do more of that - listen to a funny podcast, go for a stroll or get your favourite vibrator out of the drawer, and remember, you've got this. ✨
Today, make a promise with yourself to check in with yourself, and check-in with your loved ones.
