7 things that are stopping you from getting enough sex

Partying

We all like a drink after a long, hard day, but did you ever consider that your evening beverage is affecting that other long, hard thing in your life? Drinking too much reduces your sex drive, so if you want more loving it’s time to put down your glass. For the guys, you shouldn’t be having more than three to four units a day. That’s the equivalent of two pints of 4% lager.  For the girls, you should have no more than two to three units in a day. That’s the equivalent of two small 125ml glasses of wine.

Checking their messages

A little green-eyed jealousy lives within us all and sometimes it can be quite flattering to hear we are the cause of another person’s envy; but beware. Jealousy is the all time, number one turn-off for both men and women. Being possessive isn’t hot, it’s just weird. If jealousy is affecting your love life you should address some of your trust issues and try to build your self-esteem.  Before asking about your crushes exes, or rifling through their messages, pause and think: what do I expect to find? Is this rational?

Routine 

Like everything else in life, if you do something too much it becomes boring. If your sex life has become more monotonous than a Monday morning commute, it’s time to experiment. If the kinky and saucy intimidates you, don’t worry. Sex doesn’t have to be sordid to be exciting. Try simple things, like a sex treasure hunt. Wait until your partner comes home and place clues around the house. The clues should help them find you naked and in bed. When they do finally find their prize (you) the anticipation will be so high you’ll both want to dive into bed for some fun.

Short finger

How long is your ring finger? How long is your index finger? Although your hands seem an odd place to look when trying to work out why you aren’t getting enough sex, some scientists believe that the length of your ring finger indicates certain information about your sex drive. The higher the level of testosterone you are exposed to in the womb determines how long your fourth finger is. This is why men tend to have longer ring fingers than women. However, if you or your partner has unusually short ring fingers then this could indicate a low libido and could be why you are not getting enough.

Smoking

Smoking could be the reason why you aren’t getting enough sex. In a survey three quarters of 18-24 year olds said they wouldn’t even kiss someone who had just smoked. An even more shocking stat is that 1,700 people surveyed by the Department of Health said they would be hesitant to start a relationship with someone who smoked. Clearly, smoking carries a huge stigma and it’s no longer sexy to spark up. To get more action, you need to stub out that cigarette.

Relationship crisis

Although make-up sex can be great, if you and your guy or girl are constantly fighting or live together in frosty silences then the chances are, your sex life sucks. A relationship crisis is one of the most common reasons why people have a loss of sexual desire. The best way to tackle any relationship issues you share is to talk to one another. Why are you both so unhappy? You need to work together to bring about a resolution and if you can’t, then maybe it’s time to move on. 

Junk

If you love gorging on junk food, you may only need to make a few small changes to your diet to make massive differences to your sex life. For those guys who would like to be a little firmer in the trouser department you should try to eat foods rich in L-Arginine. You could have some granola for breakfast or snack on cashews and walnuts during the day. For the ladies, try and get more soy into your diet. It will make you more sensitive and lubricated, plus it combats certain symptoms of the menopause. Read more on realbuzz.com...
