You Aren't Aware of These Strange Facts About Your Sex Drive

Sex drives are a pretty big deal. They are mostly a defining factor in us being women and our mood.

Your sex desire may be at its peak in your thirties, which may surprise you. We're going to talk about a few things like this...

The 30s and 40s High Sex Drives

Testosterone, which boys have around the age of 18, has a big impact on sex drives.

It's strange that men's and women's sex drives aren't matched from an evolutionary standpoint.

In any case, I'm relieved to know that I'm in my thirties, at my peak, and that I can enjoy myself properly now that I've gained significant experience.

I admire lesbians in their 30s because they make the most of their lives and have the best experiences.

People who are physically active have higher libidos

People who are more active physically also have a higher libido. I’m not body-shaming anyone but this is just a common reality. Even small amounts of movement, such as going for a walk or lifting a weight, can help.

DO what is most convenient for you, and take pleasure in the changes in your sex drive.

Mental Health Consequences

If you don’t feel like having sex even though you want to, it may be time to care for your mental health. How have you been feeling over the past few days? Are you checking in on yourself?

Depression is something a lot of people deal with and it has significant impacts on your sex drive since it suppresses it considerably.

As someone who is frequently unhappy and craves a connection rather than sex, I am extremely familiar with it.

If you do have problems, you should seek expert assistance. It does wonders and will help you a lot.

Your Sex Drive Will Not Always Match Your Partner

This is common knowledge. It sucks to be someone who’s having a greater sex drive than their spouse but there are things that can be done to convert this for the good.

If your sex urge is too strong, divert your focus to something else, such as your hobbies or your work. Instead of masturbating, spend some time alone or have an honest conversation with your partner about love and vulnerability.

The Benefits of Testosterone

Both men and women are affected by testosterone. It can significantly improve a woman's sex desire after menopause, and your doctor can assist you in this regard. It decreases as you get older, which is completely normal.

There are a few more things that come into play here...

It's possible that you're not getting enough sleep, that you're anxious, or that you're working too much. If these strikes a bell then take a calm pill, my friend.

Normal Sex Drive is Different for Everybody

Normal sex drive is a varied definition for anyone. Maybe you haven't had sex in weeks, or maybe you've taken on new obligations.

Many things influence the urge to have sex, so don't be disappointed if your sex drive isn't what you expected.

It's your sex life, so take things at your own pace.

Can my sex drive be too high?

Just as there is no proper quantity of sex to be having, no "normal" sex desire exists. "Those with higher sex drives are subjected to a lot of shaming language," Lewis says. People use terms like 'sex addict' and 'nymphomaniac' too often, she says, to describe others who have a natural, healthy sex drive.

Finding partners with comparable sex drives may be a great way to explore your sexuality, but just because you and your partner have fundamentally different sex drives doesn't imply you're not compatible.
