The pill in your libido

THE PILL

If you’re currently taking an oral contraceptive chances are you have zero drive. The pill shuts down hormonal production in your body to prevent ovulation from occurring. The same hormones the help you ovulate put the lust in your libido. If this is you, and going off the pill isn’t a realistic option, try incorporating the dietary changes I mention above to help you up your drive.

IS IT YOUR MEDS?

Pharmaceuticals, like anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medications, dull your feelings so that you are less sensitive to outside stimuli. In the same token, they’ll dull your desire to have. If this is you, talk with your prescribing doctor about switching to a medication with less libido-reducing side effects.

ARE YOU A POT HEAD?

Smoking too much pot can seriously suck the lust for right out of you (not to mention your lust for life too). Drop the drugs to get your life back!

HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MO-JO?

Maybe you’re not feeling as hot and appealing as you once did? If this is you find some ways to get your confidence back! One thing I like to encourage woman to do is a little positive self-talk. Try this, look into the mirror and say the following, “I love and accept myself. I love the woman that I am.” Here’s the thing though, you’ve got to say it like you mean it.

USE IT OR LOSE IT

Girl, sometimes you gotta fake it til you make it. If nothing else seems out of whack, then maybe you’ve just got to get over it and get back in bed with your partner! Rekindle that lover’s lust!
