- Alcohol- Studies have shown that although a drink or two may help you to relax more then that will actually kill your sex drive. If you try to have sexual intercourse while your intoxicated it will cause you not to perform well which can completely ruin the mood.
- Body Image- The way you feel about your body will definitely contribute to your sex drive. The better you feel about your body the more you will want to have sex.
- Depression- If you feel yourself going into depression this will definitely kill your sex drive. If this takes place speak to a physician and take the necessary steps that will help you get out of depression and get back your sex drive.
- Medication- Some medications can definitely kill your sex drive so look at some of the medications you are taking and conduct research. If it comes across that your medication is killing your sex drive speak to your physician and ask if it is possible to switch medication.
- Menopause- Menopause can cause vaginal dryness in women which will just kill a woman's sex drive. If this is the case a lube would help with the vaginal dryness that occurs during sex.
- Stress- Stress from work, bills, family etc, can put a strain on you and kill your libido. To relieve stress and get your sex drive back practice stress relief tactics that will help you on a daily basis.
- No Sleep- Fatigue can definitely be a mood killer so make sure to get the recommended hours of sleep to bring you back to par.
- Not Enough Intimacy- If intimacy (cuddling, talking, kissing) are dead in a relationship then your sex drive will be also. The more intimacy you have in a relationship the better as it brings emotional closeness which in turn brings a better sex drive.
- Unresolved Relationship Issues- Remember that fight you had last night or even a couple of days ago and you never resolved it? Well please do so because unresolved issues will not bring you closer together instead they will drive you apart and this will do nothing for your intimacy level.
- Parenting- Having a child especially small children in the home can make it hard to find time to have sex let alone have the energy for it. To fix this find a baby sitter that can watch your child for a couple of hours so you and your significant other can get the alone time you need. Another option would be to schedule sex time around the same time your child is napping.
Ladies now you know some of the everyday issues that can kill your sex drive in a relationship and what you can do to solve them.
