The five dreaded words, avoid “I’m Not in the Mood” with some libido-lifting tips

Tell me if you can relate to the fol­low­ing experience:

A long week of work has finally reached its end. Sure, the week was dif­fi­cult, but the main rea­son for its length­i­ness was due to antic­i­pa­tion — antic­i­pa­tion of what the week­end held in store.

All week­ends are great. But this week­end was billed to be WAY above aver­age. Why? Because you were spend­ing it with your sig­nif­i­cant other, away from it all, in one of the finest of hotels your city has to offer. And if a lit­tle bit of luck was on your side, it would turn out to be one of the more mem­o­rable “expe­ri­ences” of a life­time — ahem, if you know what I mean (and I think you do).

Turns out, things didn’t go as planned. The hotel was great, and the decor was to die for, but The Five Dreaded Words were spo­ken, the ones that always put the kibosh on a roman­tic night of love­mak­ing: “I’m not in the mood.”

Each one of us have either felt or heard these words spo­ken before, and whether you’re the giver or the receiver, it’s never pleas­ant. Sex is a HUGE part of a rela­tion­ship, and when oppor­tu­ni­ties for love­mak­ing go by the way­side, it fre­quently dimin­ishes forth­com­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties — whether it’s due to fear of the same thing hap­pen­ing again, or the low­er­ing of expectations.

The key, of course, is to have that “moti­va­tion” within you at all times so those Five Dreaded Words are never spo­ken. Here’s a small help­ing of ways in which to keep your libido lifted so you can avoid the 5DW:

Diet

Skep­tics argue that keep­ing one’s libido lifted through diet is a self-fulfilling prophecy; in other words, if you think almonds or choco­late will lift your libido, odds are good they will.

But sci­en­tific evi­dence — not psy­cho­so­matic hog­wash — sug­gests that cer­tain foods do, indeed, lift one’s libido. For exam­ple, a study from South­west­ern Uni­ver­sity found that cof­fee beans lift the libido of females. For men, the love-lifting liba­tion is tea, specif­i­cally Dami­ana tea. Alter­na­tive health expert Dr. Sarah Brewer says the ingre­di­ent respon­si­ble for increas­ing male libido in this tea is called gon­za­l­i­tosin. This ingre­di­ent sends a tin­gling sen­sa­tion to the penis.

Sup­ple­ments

Sup­ple­ment­ing with vit­a­mins and min­er­als are, hope­fully, a nor­mal part of your daily reg­i­men, but spe­cific sup­ple­ments pro­vide a great boost to your sex drive. Take St. John’s Wort as an example.

St. John’s Wort has a mul­ti­tude of ben­e­fits — from improv­ing one’s mood to improv­ing one’s mind — and those ben­e­fits can be found in the bed­room. Because of its mood-improving prop­er­ties, stud­ies have shown that 60 per­cent of peo­ple for­merly unin­ter­ested in sex regained their inter­est after tak­ing St. John’s Wort.

Care for two more? Try gin­seng and gingko biloba on for size (and no, I don’t mean that kind of size). Gin­seng is one of the ear­li­est herbs to be widely mar­keted in the United States, and it’s taken by mil­lions of peo­ple reg­u­larly for the nat­ural boost of energy it pro­vides. So for peo­ple whose energy lev­els leave them pooped time comes for whoopee, gin­seng is just the thing.

As for gingko biloba, this oddly-named herb stim­u­lates blood flow through­out the body and brain (which explains why it’s taken by those who have a hard time remem­ber­ing things). As blood flow improves its flow through­out the body, it serves as the per­fect elixir for those who have a hard time get­ting a, shall we say, “hard on.”

Research pub­lished in the Jour­nal of Sex Edu­ca­tion and Ther­apy found that men who took gingko biloba reg­u­larly were able to main­tain erec­tions after six months (granted, gingko biloba is not an overnight healer, but the improve­ment took place, and it took place with­out the neg­a­tive side effects that always accom­pany male impo­tency drugs).

A low libido may feel like some­thing that’s out of your hands; some­thing that will come back on its own in its own due course. That may be the case, but more often than not, it can be through our every-day actions and lifestyle.

For more infor­ma­tion on the “Why?” and “How?” of libido, you may want to check out a great new web­site I’ve dis­cov­ered. In there you’ll dis­cover some of the hid­den rea­sons why your libido has been slump­ing for so long, but more impor­tantly, how to get it on the upswing quickly, pain­lessly, and naturally.

I hope you’ll take this oppor­tu­nity and visit Low Pres­sure Sex today. By the time your next week­end get­away comes around, you’ll thank me (and your part­ner will thank you).

I rec­om­mend you visit their Web­site imme­di­ately, where you’ll get a crash course on how this issue has affected me per­son­ally; more infor­ma­tion on the links between what’s ‘down there’ and hyper­ten­sion; and most impor­tant of all, how you can improve the health of your body and your rela­tion­ship, all-naturally.
