Sexual dysfunction has many faces, and it affects people in different ways. In any case, the effects on a relationship can be devastating. If you have felt a loss of desire lately or find it difficult to remain focused and aroused during sex, and you’d like to know why then this is the article for you. While there are many reasons for poor sexual health and functionality, it could just as likely be your environment.
In this article, we will look at how your home may be negatively impacting your libido. If any of the following apply to you, make sure you rectify the situation right away.
1. A messy bed and cluttered bedroom
The best sex has an element of spaciousness to it. If you feel hemmed in and surrounded by clutter, you aren’t going to feel as sexually stimulated as you would in an otherwise tidy environment. The fact is people who make their bed have more sex every week than those who don’t. It may seem like a stretch but be honest with yourself. What’s more inviting, freshly pressed sheets or a dirty duvet heaped on the bed? You’ll be far less likely to want to play with your adult toy if your partner can never be bothered to make their bed and set the scene.
2. Tech on the bedside
If you want to spend more time in your partner’s world, you need to spend less time in the virtual world. When you two get into bed, you should be committing to turning your phones off or leaving them out of the room altogether. If your sexual relationship has been suffering, it’s likely because you and your partner treat your bed as a place to catch up on social media rather than catch up with one another. Set a new rule and stick to it – the results may surprise you.
3. The temperature isn’t quite right
We, humans, are fussy mammals that are rarely satisfied. This is why it is important that you set the appropriate temperature throughout your home. If you have drafty windows that are bringing the temperature in your bedroom down, giving you cold feet (literally), then it will negatively impact your libido and may even make it even harder for you to achieve orgasm.
4. The dust has settled on your sex-life
Your libido can be affected by several things, including environmental factors such as allergens and dust in the air. If you do not keep your home clean and dust-free, it can affect you in many ways, from itchy eyes, a reduced sense of smell (making it harder to pick up on your partner’s pheromones), and even give you a difficult time breathing. These all render you feeling exhausted and rarely in the mood for sex.
5. Your fridge isn’t filled with healthy foods
If you don’t keep your home stocked with plenty of nutritious food, then your diet is likely atrocious. Want to keep your libido happy and healthy? Then you’re going to have to start eating a balanced diet. This is something that you can work on together. Encourage each other to cook by taking turns to treat one another to a delicious, nutritious feast.
