Generally speaking, people believe that men have stronger desires than women, and in married life, one of the biggest concerns for husbands is: "My wife is becoming distant from me."
However, this may actually be a common misconception. It seems that women's desires increase with age; how is this possible?
Factors influencing female desire – you'll understand after reading this.
1. Age
There's a saying: "Women in their 30s are like wolves and tigers." To be precise, women aren't like wolves and tigers at 30, but rather around 35.
As women age, they typically reach sexual maturity around age 35, which also coincides with a peak in libido. However, around age 45-50, menopausal women experience a rapid decline in hormone levels, leading to a decrease in libido. Nevertheless, women shouldn't worry too much; if necessary, hormone supplementation can be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
After menopause, children are mostly grown up, and women have more time to spend with their partners, so most of them will experience a second peak in their menstrual cycle .
2. Hormonal changes
A woman's libido is closely related to her menstrual cycle. Before and after menstruation, due to differences in the levels of estrogen and testosterone produced by the ovaries, women experience fluctuations in libido.
Generally, a woman's estrogen levels peak a few days before ovulation, leading to a surge in libido. After ovulation, estrogen levels decrease, resulting in a decline in libido until the next menstrual period. During pregnancy and postpartum, the release of prolactin can also cause a decrease in libido.
3. Marital relationship
Women often find it difficult to separate sex from emotions. The better the relationship between husband and wife, the more harmonious everything will be; if the relationship is bad, sexual desire will be impossible to arouse. In addition, a comfortable and relaxed environment is also important for enhancing a woman's desire.
What to do about low libido in women? The US FDA approves female "Viagra".
When experiencing erectile dysfunction, some men resort to Viagra to restore their virility. Many people believe this is a male-only issue, unaware that women can also benefit from medication in this regard.
Last year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Vyleesi (bremelanotide) for the treatment of acquired, generalized hyposexuality in premenopausal women. Currently, the cause of generalized hyposexuality is unknown, but it causes significant distress and increases social difficulties for patients. Vyleesi can enhance libido, helping patients improve their lives and reduce psychological stress.
Therefore, Vyleesi is also known as a female "Viagra". The method of using Vyleesi is also very simple: inject it under the skin of the abdomen or thigh 45 minutes before "intercourse", and do not exceed 1 dose per day, and no more than 8 doses per month.
Clinical trials have shown that Vyleesi injections may cause mild side effects such as nausea, vomiting, headache, and elevated blood pressure, but these are not suitable for women at high risk of cardiovascular disease.
Prolonged sleep can help increase libido in women.
Of course, Vyleesi is for women with severe hypoactive libido. For ordinary women, the simplest way to increase libido is to prolong sleep time .
A small study reported on the website of The New York Times suggests that among 171 college students, libido increased significantly with each additional hour of sleep . Sufficient sleep the night before led to greater satisfaction the next day. Therefore, researchers concluded that longer sleep duration can improve libido in women, and that sleep health is crucial for satisfaction.
In addition to getting enough sleep, having a relaxed and peaceful mindset is also very important .
Everyone has normal needs, and we must learn to face our desires honestly. Appropriate marital relations are not only beneficial to physical health but also help maintain a healthy social life. When we encounter problems in that area, we can actively seek solutions and resolve them rationally.
