Stress
Some life changes are major stress producers. Immediately following the birth of a child, for example, new mothers typically experience a decline in sexual desire. This is due to a combination of factors, including hormonal shifts, fatigue and the constant attention a newborn baby demands. In addition, breastfeeding can cause a decrease in vaginal lubrication, resulting in uncomfortable, if not painful, sex. Fortunately, over-the-counter vaginal lubricants can solve this problem quickly and easily. What can you do if stress is affecting your sex drive? Medical experts say that whatever benefits your health in general also boosts your sex life. So consider stress reduction a recipe for good sex, as well as good health. Focus on maintaining a positive attitude, maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly.
