Body image: Small boobs, a hairy back, lack of muscles … whatever it is you’re conscious of, body image issues make for a sure-fire short circuit in terms of your sex drive. If you’re getting naked with the lights off, or not getting naked at all, it’s time to stop filling your mind with negative thoughts about your body and start focussing on what you love about yourself. Every time you have a negative thought about your body, make sure you back it up with a positive one.
Menopause: Ladies, mood swings, vaginal dryness, hot flushes and depression don’t exactly set the mood for a night of hot sex. Add to that your decline in oestrogen levels that prevent blood flow around the pelvis area and it’s probably feeling pretty dry ‘down there’, meaning that sex has become painful. Wow – it’s no surprise you’re not feeling up to it. While lubricants may provide short term relief, you could speak to your doctor about alternative solutions such as hormone replacement therapy if this is causing you trouble.
