Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Excitement six can experience ups and downs whether male or female. Apparently there are a series of habits that unknowingly kill your sex drive.
When you want a lovemaking session, sometimes your partner doesn’t want to do it. This is normal. But Jacqueline Hurst, author of How To Do You: The Life-Changing Art of Mastering Your Thoughts, thinks there is something to worry about.
“Low libido over a long period of time may be cause for concern,” Hurst quoted from GQ.
If this happens, you need to evaluate your daily habits because this can affect your sexual desire. Anything?
1. Arguing with a partner
Fighting is not unusual in relationships. However, if it becomes a habit, of course one or both parties will feel there is distance and the desire to make love will disappear.
“Arguing, poor communication, not enough time with each other, betrayal, or repeated criticism will create a relationship that inhibits intimacy and lacks closeness,” explains Hurst.
2. Masturbating too often
Masturbation can actually help arouse passion. On the other hand, doing it too often can actually reduce your desire to make love with your partner.
“Some people describe solo sex (masturbation) as ‘easier’ or ‘quick release,'” says sex and relationship therapist Miranda Christophers.
Without realizing it, masturbation is used as a means of calming oneself, fulfilling personal pleasure, overcoming boredom or helping someone to sleep. Masturbation is easy and doesn’t require a partner. It’s just that sexual desire with your partner can drop drastically.
3. Lack of omega 3 intake

Are omega 3 fatty acids only for the brain? The answer is no. It turns out that when omega 3 intake is low, it can affect sex drive.
When considering foods to increase sex drive, fatty fish, flaxseed, and walnuts are worth including. The omega 3 content will help the formation of testosterone, estrogen and progesterone which will increase dopamine and encourage arousal.
4. Bad posture
From now on, it’s best to sit with correct posture. A study from New Zealand found that people who sit upright have better self-confidence, passion and mood.
5. Too much red wine

Sugar turns out to have a bad impact on your bed. Studies show that high insulin levels due to excessive sugar intake will damage other hormones, including estrogen and testosterone. It’s no wonder you don’t feel like making love after eating donuts and drinking milkshakes.
7. Ignore the pain when making love
Have you ever experienced painful sex? Some couples choose to ignore it or consider it normal.
“In this case, the first thing I try to do is eliminate the pain. In general, once the pain is gone, the arousal problem is resolved,” says the founder of Gynecologic Specialists of Northwestern.
8. Lack of picnics
Therapist Brandy Engler highlights people who are busy with work or other things so they don’t have time to relax. The mind continues to be stimulated to think without knowing the time. When is the picnic?
“Activities include yoga, gardening, and exercise that do not rely on mental stimulation and connect with the senses, relax us, or make our bodies more open to sexuality,” says Engler.
9. Loves coffee to the point of addiction
If you like coffee, it doesn’t matter. However, if you have reached the stage of addiction to the point where you need several cups of coffee a day, then there is something that needs to be evaluated.
Too much caffeine will make the adrenal glands work hard and release stress hormones so that sex drive drops.
