There’s just this quest to do better in the next rounds of sexual romps than the previous. There’s this desire to always take your partner to another level of sexual ecstasy. This desire underpins people’s interest to boost their sexual vibrancy, stamina, and agility. It isn’t surprising as “what makes a man is his ability to satisfy his wife’s sexual needs – his ability to make his woman always thirsty for more.”
Sexual expectation can be somewhat high, little wonder why some people resort to the use of aphrodisiacs (sexual enhancing drugs) and other synthetic substances which in the long run pose serious danger to their health.
Now, there are natural ways to go about the business of boosting your libido for an optimal sexual experience.
What’s libido, how does it work?
Simply put, libido refers to your desire or drive towards sex. It entails the totality of your physical, mental, and emotional energy directed towards sex and other sexual related activities. It is largely influenced by testosterone or estrogen level. These are the hormones responsible for the activation of sexual activities in your body. It can also be influenced by psychological factors such as stress and anxiety and lastly, it can be determined by social factors such as unbridled closeness to members of the opposite sex.
When in excess i.e. when libido is too high, it may lead to sexual addiction, where an individual is compelled to satiate excessive sexual demands in order to achieve some kind of satisfaction. If the thirst is not satisfied, such individuals end up with multiple sex partners and this could be morally draining and psychologically devastating. On the flip side, where libido is low, an individual becomes prone to sexual desire disorder where they don’t just feel the desire to engage in any sexual romp. Hence, libido must not be too high neither must it be too low. There should be a balance where your libido doesn’t interfere with your quality of life as there is no standard libido level. However, when your sex drive begins to affect your life negatively, something might be wrong. No need to panic though, just speak to your doctor.
