When you hear the phrase “night-time
exertion”, do you think of a vigorous facial and a good, hard floss? If
so, then listen up ladies. It’s time you gave your libido a little bit
of TLC. With just a few tricks and changes to your diet you can unleash
your inner desire and have some wild night’s under-the-covers:
Befriend the babies
Crying children and smelly nappies may not sound like the best way to
get in the mood for love, but researchers have found that visiting your
friends who have recently become mums is one of the strongest natural
aphrodisiacs. Within the study those women who smelt pads from
breastfeeding women reported a dramatic increase in sexual desire and
sexual fantasies. Best book a visit to the maternity award ladies!
Indulge in chocolate
We all know that sucking on a piece of melting chocolate is fabulous.
What we might not know is that chocolate contains phenethylamine, a
nutrient that we produce when we fall in love. Fantastically, this
nutrient also increases your libido and makes eating chocolate a
guilt-free pleasure. The higher the cocoa content the better; so choose a
bar that is made from at least 60-70 per cent cocoa solid chocolate.
Get munching girls.
De-stress
Your boss has been nagging you, the plumbing is broken and your
in-laws are coming for the weekend; do you want sex? The answer is
always going to be no. When your rational brain is in overdrive the
stress hormone, cortisol, is released. Cortisol suppresses your
oestrogen secretion and this lowers your libido. Counteract stress with
massages, a hot bath or a visit to a steam room. Also try to make sex
one of your priorities and you’ll soon see the benefits.
Pump it
To get some more action you need to get pumping. Performing pelvic
floor exercises will make you more aware of the muscles involved in
sexual pleasure. To strengthen these muscles, sit comfortably and
squeeze as if you are trying to stop the flow of urine. Repeat this
10-15 times in a row, without holding your breath, or your stomach, butt
and thigh muscles. Once you have built some strength into these
muscles you will notice that you are more sensitive during sex.
Have a cuddle
Sometimes you just can’t beat a good hug. Although a hug can seem
harmless enough, it has the potential to lead to something a little more
intimate; sex. Researcher, Dr Michel Odent, explains that we all need
oxytocin to get sexually aroused. We receive increased levels of
oxytocin when we have skin-to-skin contact with our partners. Next time
you and your man are watching a film, remember to snuggle up to him, who
knows where it could lead.
Put down that wine glass
A few cheeky glasses of wine on a date may seem like the perfect way
to get into the boy’s pants, but think again. Alcohol diminishes sexual
arousal and although studies have shown that women are more likely to
have sex after drinking, according to their findings, those women who do
have sex when drunk enjoy it less. To reduce the amount you drink why
not try having a glass of water between each drink, or rather than go to
a pub, meet at a café.
Get sniffing
It may sound disgusting, it may be your worst nightmare, but bear
with us when we say that sniffing your man’s sweaty gym kit may turn you
on. According to scientists at the University of California, Berkeley,
smelling male sweat can increase sexual arousal. If you can’t face
taking a whiff of his smelly underarms, why not work out with him?
You’ll still pick up his scent and you’ll be getting fitter.
