Gone off sex
Sex. The passion, intimacy, fun, games, naughtiness – could you live without it? Yet throughout Britain, couples are doing without sex because, frankly, they’re not in the mood. What was once a wonderful three times a night has dwindled to a routine once a week, half-hearted once a month or even less. So what can you do if sex is off the agenda?
Your physical self
Firstly, are you feeling good physically? We may lust with our minds but it’s our bodies that have to do the love making. So if you’re tired, stressed, overworked or ill, you may not feel like sex simply because your body isn’t up to it.
Begin by making sure you’re getting enough rest. A full time job, house to keep and children often lead to feelings of exhaustion. If you have children, try going to bed when they do for a week. Or clear your diary for a week to ensure early nights. Catch up on sleep and see how much better you feel.
Lack of desire may be your body’s way of telling you there’s something wrong. It could be illness that’s draining you or your hormones may be unbalanced. Or you’re on medication that’s reducing your sex drive. It’s always worth having a check-up with your GP – particularly, if your problems have come on suddenly.
