Your relationship used to be spicy and hot, but now that steamy passion seems to have evaporated into thin air. You both still love each other. In fact, you have settled into a comfortable familiarity together. Yet, he no longer makes you shudder with excitement and your hot relationship is now definitely running cold.

It’s inevitable that relationships and patterns of intimacy will change over time. Think of your sex life as a journey where you have an opportunity to learn more about each other and become intimate in a variety of ways. Flexibility, change, and unpredictability are all part of a long-term sexual relationship. Sometimes things are fevered and exciting, and sometimes it feels like the romance temperature sub zero.  

That’s normal.

Why Women Lose Interest

In most cases, a lower libido is due to a decrease in hormone levels. Everyone experiences natural periods of hormonal imbalance or fluctuations at particular points in life. Decreased hormone levels can cause your sex drive to plummet. Lower levels also create vaginal dryness, which makes intimacy uncomfortable and personal satisfaction elusive.  

Women are at the height of reproductive potency during their 20’s and 30’s. During those years the body produces hormones that help you become aroused and responsive during sexual activity. These are the years most couples set their sheets on fire, metaphorically speaking. 

Often women experience a decrease in libido as they age into their forties and above. This is very common and usually caused by perimenopause or menopause symptoms.

A dip in hormones can also be linked to other causes that affect women at any age, including:

• depression*
• a thyroid condition*
• being overweight
• poor nutrition
• polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)*  

Three Tips to Rekindling the Passion

Go Back to the Basics

First, remember, you don’t need a hot and steamy tangle in the sheets to reap the benefits of a close physical relationship. Regaining passion in your relationship may start with the small things. Simply holding hands, snuggling, or laughing together is helpful. Your emotional foreplay is just as important as the physical. Stay connected and keep the relationship fires burning, even if the sexual fires seem dim.

Take Care of YOU

Low self-esteem can negatively affect virtually every facet of your life, including your relationships. You can boost your self-esteem and confidence by taking steps to improve your overall health--both mentally and physically. Maybe it’s time to find a weight loss or nutrition program that will help you feel more confident about your body. Get out there and increase your serotonin with some walking or yoga. Take this season to focus on goals to improve your overall wellness.

Embrace Fun

Experiencing climax and pleasure is meant to be fun and you don’t have to miss out on it. Scream Cream is a libido enhancing medication for women that is applied externally. It brings the WOW-factor back to the bedroom. Scream Cream will enable you to feel deep pleasurable sensations and increase your feelings of desire and arousal. It’s time to light the sparks and enjoy the fireworks again. 

So, pack your bags and move out of the fro-zone, Ladies. There’s still a path to spiciness on your intimacy journey. You may not feel like a crazed hormonal teenager anymore, but who says you can’t still fan the flame of pleasure.

*If you believe your lack of drive may be due to an underlying medical condition, please consult a physician.
