JAKARTA - Libido or low sexual arousal is a common problem faced by both women and men. Quoted from Very Well Mind, low sexual arousal in men is usually caused by low hormone levels, drug consumption, depression, chronic illness and stress.

However, you don't need to worry. There are a number of ways to increase sexual arousal both in men and women naturally, without the need for medicine. Let's take a peek at the secret below quoted by VOI from Everyday Health, Friday, July 5.

Take your time in the midst of busy sex. "It's hard to get a good mood when you have a lot to do and have little time to have sex," says Dr. Anita Sadaty, MD, holistic gynecologist at Roslyn, New York.

Schedule enough time to do something calming first, before carrying out 'core' activities. Because women, in particular, need to relax before their libido increases.

If all this time your mind continues to struggle with negative things that lower the spirit of having sex, such as body forms, for example. This is the right time to stop it. When the thought appears, shift it to more useful thinking.

Positive thinking during sex can increase sexual pleasure. One thing that can be done to make sex even more enjoyable is to tell your partner What makes you excited, set healthy sexual boundaries, and explore sexual fantasies.

Dry vaginas often occur in women aged 18 to 50 years. A number of factors can cause vaginal dryness, including decreased hormone levels due to menopause, breastfeeding, and certain treatments.

Sex can be more fun if you add lubricants, thereby reducing friction and irritation which causes discomfort, said the gynecologists. You can buy lubricants in a drug store or use coconut oil. Make sure to use non latex condoms if you use coconut oil because this oil can damage latex.

Exercise is also beneficial for sexual satisfaction. Men with erectile dysfunctions, for example, can often see improvements in conditions with healthy lifestyle changes such as exercise. In women, research shows that physical activity can also increase sexual function. A study found that women who carry out regular physical activity (one to six hours per week) have higher levels of desire, passion, and sexual lubrication than women who do not exercise.

Lack of sleep can have a negative impact on sex drive. One of the reasons is that hormone secretions are controlled by internal body clocks, and sleep patterns are likely to help the body determine when to release certain sex-related hormones.

Whether male or female, fatigue will eliminate libido. In addition, for women, research found that longer sleep was associated with greater sexual desire the following day. And an increase in one hour of sleep causes 14 percent higher having sex with a partner.

Acupuntural practices can also increase sexual arousal. Balance and relax the body with acupuncture has long been used to improve libido, said Baljit Kmilang, ND, a naturopathic doctor and assistant professor of naturopathic medicine at Bastyr University California in San Diego.

Dr. Kmilang participated in writing a study in which 35 men and women with sexual dysfunctions, possibly caused by the antidepressant they use, were treated with nine acupuncture sessions. In the end, libido increased in women, while erectile, ejaculation time, and orgasm ability increased in men. In another study, acupuncture care for six weeks with 18 sessions resulted in significant improvements in erectile dysfunction in men.

By experimenting with yourself, you can better know what is satisfying sexually. This information can then be conveyed to your partner. For women, promocation also has other benefits. Drought and pain in the vagina can be reduced if you take the time to stimulate yourself, the Cleveland Clinic notes.

That's why sex therapists often recommend intimidating as a tool for women who have difficulty reaching orgasm. You may want to add a vibrator to increase stimulation.
