How to Decrease Frigidness Naturally

Frigidness, or the lack of sexual desire in women, is a common problem that can put a lot of stress on a relationship. Understanding the female body and the causes of frigidness can help you overcome your lack of desire and bring sexual pleasure to your relationship. You do not need expensive over the counter medications that may have unwanted side effects, because you can increase your sex drive naturally and at home.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Recognize that men and women naturally have different sexual needs and experience desire differently. Frigidness may be a sign that emotions and genuine intimacy are lacking from your relationship. If you are in the wrong relationship, it may be simply manifesting itself in the bedroom. Consider carefully whether your lack of sex drive is your personal problem, or a symptom of a relationship problem.
2. Talk to your partner about your doubts in the bedroom. If you feel your frigidness is caused by a relationship problem, the only way to resolve both issues is by talking it out with you partner. Often simply expressing concern with your partner, discussing your emotions and lack of desire can create the atmosphere of intimacy you have been lacking and stir your interest in sex.
3. Consider the medications you are taking that may cause frigidness, particularly birth control medications and antidepressants. Lack of sex drive is a common side effect of prescription medications. If you noticed a decrease in sex drive once treatment began then you may consider talking to your doctor about the effects of the medicine and possible alternatives.
4. Get regular exercise and eat a diet low in fat. Studies show that women suffering from excess weight, high blood pressure and cholesterol have more incidents of sexual dysfunction and frigidness. A healthy lifestyle will not only increase your physical energy naturally, it will help you to have a better body image, two things that can quickly decrease frigidness.
5. Reduce stress in your life. Stress causes the levels of cortisone hormone to raise in your body, which influences the hormones testosterone and estrogen, hormones that effect sex drive. Yoga, meditation and exercise can all help to relieve stress. Ironically, the most effective way to decrease cortisone levels is by having an orgasm, so it is possible that confronting your problem head on can help you decrease frigidness.
6. Spice things up. Your frigidness may be simply caused by boredom in the bedroom, so find a book on the Kama Sutra, make love at an unusual hour or location, or find other creative ways to break the monotony and routine of your sexual relationship.

Tips & Warnings

• Frigidness is sometimes caused by hormonal imbalance, particular near menopause. If your sex drive does not increase or the problem worsens, consider talking to you doctor about hormone testing and treatment.
• If you feel your lack of sex drive is due to a psychological problem, such as a traumatic event, low self-esteem or fear, speak to a trained therapist for professional counseling. Frigidness may be just a symptom of a larger and more serious problem.
