Sex drive usually starts to fire up around the time of puberty in both males and females. In a lot of cases, once that fire starts, it stays lit without question for many years to follow. But there are occasions where both men and women lose their sex drive and they are in need of a spark to get that fire back to blazing. This can take its toll on a person's confidence and self image, but there is no need to worry. There are ways of increasing sex drive, and it can be done by taking a completely natural approach.
Step 1
Start a physical fitness program . Exercise plays many roles in the body. It helps with weight reduction, it improves joint mobility, it increases brain function and it can also improve circulation throughout the whole body including the sexual organs. Aim for 30 minutes of exercise on most days of the week.
Step 2
Eat some key foods. There are various foods that can help boost testosterone levels, increase pheromones and release other hormones that are key for sexual desire. Some examples of these foods include celery, avocados, figs, bananas, oysters, eggs and garlic.
Step 3
Try an herbal remedy. There are various herbal formulas that have been used to increase sex drive. Some of these include yohimbe, clove, cardamon, grapefruit, pine nuts, fennel, ginkgo biloba and hawthorn.
Step 4
Cut back on the bad habits. Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and smoking are two practices that should be avoided or at least significantly reduced. They can decrease circulation to the sexual organs and also lower your stamina.
Step 5
Try something new. A reason for a loss of sex drive might be from following the same procedure over and over again. To break up the monotony and make things more interesting, be adventurous. Have sex in the middle of the afternoon, do it in remote locations and try some different positions that you have never tried before.
Step 6
Sit out in the sun. Sunlight can have a positive effect on the release of testosterone in men. According to a study at the University of California, an hour of sunshine can boost a man's testosterone by 69 percent.
