According to FemaleLibido.org, there are many reasons why female libido decreases. These reasons span depression, stress, boredom in the bedroom, a women's monthly menstrual cycle, lack of self-esteem, a history of sexual abuse or and exhaustion. Fortunately, there are several ways women can enable themselves to increase their libido and enjoy more sexual satisfaction.
Step 1
Check all of the prescription drugs you are currently taking for the list of side effects associated with them. You should particularly be keen on checking medications known for causing a decrease in libido, including anti-depressants and birth control. Ask your doctor if you suspect that one of the medications you are taking might be causing your decreased libido if there are no libido-related side effects listed on your medications. Ask your doctor for prescription drugs to help re-enable your libido.
Step 2
Communicate with your partner about the changes in your libido, as it might be an issue that your partner is totally unaware of. You can discuss the possibility of taking a "fresh approach" to sex by changing your sexual routine by finding a new location for sex or purchasing new lingerie.
Step 3
Eliminate stress by taking breaks throughout the day and taking time for yourself through doing a hobby you enjoy. You can even just practice meditation for a few minutes when you feel stressed as a way to recharge. Make sure to get enough (6 to 8) hours of sleep every night. Say no to obligations that are not necessary for you to do. Ask your children (if you have them) to help with household tasks like cooking, cleaning and doing laundry so that you have more leisure time.
Step 4
Speak with your doctor about natural sexual dysfunction remedies you can take to increase your libido.
Step 5
Get enough exercise, as working out helps you feel well around, which translates into better sex. You can practice yoga as a way to become more aware of all the physical sensations in your body, which can lead to greater sexual pleasure. Eat a healthier diet in addition to exercise as another key way to feel better physically. You can eat certain foods known to enhance the sexual experience as well, including bananas, avocado, pomegranate, garlic, celery, oysters, chocolate, figs, asparagus and almonds.
