Sexual pleasure, also known as libido, is a powerful psychophysical drive that drives every living being to act sexually both with themselves and with other partners. Good general psychophysical health and young age are associated with a stable and strong libido, while sub-optimal health conditions and advanced age are associated with a physiological and natural decline in libido. Under these conditions, it is best to contact a healthcare professional such as a psychotherapist, physician, endocrinologist, andrologist, gynecologist, or neurologist to evaluate pharmacological, organic, or psychological strategies.

However, it can happen that sexual pleasure during the existence of every human being undergoes temporary variations that are not determined by specific psychological or medical reasons. It is precisely in cases like this that the following natural suggestions that I am going to give you can help you increase sexual pleasure, thus increasing personal and partner satisfaction.

Real sleep

Good sleep allows sufficient production of testosterone, a hormone belonging to the category of androgens that men usually have but which is also important for women. In fact, low testosterone levels are associated with decreased libido and other problems related to the sexual sphere. With regular sleep habits, a man can also maintain his health better and of course, a good state of health is directly proportional to sex drive.

Follow a high-protein diet

In addition, testosterone can be increased by following a diet rich in protein, by consuming foods such as nuts, meat, fish, and eggs. Of course, since it is recommended to vary your diet, it is advisable to consult a nutritionist to avoid any complications. If possible, try to be diligent in consuming fresh sources of protein in the sense that they are not exposed to preservatives. Any foodstuff that is fresh is good and has the maximum desired benefits, including if you are going to use it for sex drive enhancement.

Engage in regular physical activity and lead a balanced healthy lifestyle

Physical activity, especially anaerobic activity (e.g. bodybuilding), by increasing the availability of testosterone in the blood of both sexes, is very useful as it exponentially increases sexual desire. In addition, leading a sedentary lifestyle, and abusing alcohol, drugs, and tobacco are factors that decrease libido. It is also important to consider that these habits can trigger anxiety and depression issues, increasing psychophysical tension.

There are many studies that have been conducted and concluded that exercise has a positive correlation to sex life and there are many cases that show a clear difference between sex performance and testosterone levels between those who regularly exercise and those who do not. It is closely related to several factors, mainly the pumping of blood by the heart. Sexual power is closely related to cardiac performance and to maintain cardiac power there is no substitute for regular exercise.

A study concluded that weight loss has a correlation with an increase in one’s testosterone levels and therefore, sex drive. Approximately 3 or 4 hours a week can increase testosterone levels by about 15 to 20 percent. For your information, hypogonadism is a condition where the sex glands are unable to produce testosterone in the “proper” quantity.

A study conducted by a group of women concluded that a few tens of minutes of daily exercise can increase a woman’s sex drive by many folds. That’s why some experts recommend sex after exercise.

Knowing your body and using pornography

Good maintenance of sexual pleasure happens both through constant masturbation activity as a refinement and enhancement of sexuality with your partner and through identifying your sexual preferences. Furthermore, the correct use of pornography is directly correlated with not only an increase in testosterone but also other neurotransmitters that keep sexual pleasure stable. I have “researched” a lot of pornographic content and if I am allowed to give you a recommendation then I would do it with these hardcore porn pictures. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

Finally, if the previous suggestions are not enough to restore a good level of libido, it is advisable to first have preliminary medical tests done by an endocrinologist or andrologist to see if the sexual anomaly is of organic origin. Once the medical nature of the problem is ruled out, it is necessary to contact a psychotherapist to understand and address the psychological factors underlying the decrease in libido.

Among the various forms of psychotherapy, it has been proven that protocols based on Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy integrated with EMDR treatment and Flash Technique are the most effective methods for sexual dysfunction of any kind. In fact, a specialist psychotherapist will help people recognize dysfunctional thoughts, reflect on sexual performance on an ongoing basis, and manage any harmful dynamics present within the couple that could be contributing to the problem at hand.
