Libido Boosters: Top 6 Remedies You Don’t Want to Miss

Tired of using the same old remedies to hype up your libido? Look no more and try these out! 

Even if these usual turn-ons work for you, sooner or later they start to feel tired — which may make you less likely to respond to them, says Irwin Goldstein, M.D., director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego.

CNN recently published an article detailing this 6 choices. I have summed up the main points in this blog post.

Scare yourself

Consider taking a surfing lesson together instead of a romantic walk on the beach. After being in an adrenaline-pumping situation (say, watching a suspenseful flick or going zip-lining), men and women find the opposite sex more alluring, suggests a study in the “Archives of Sexual Behavior.”

Swap bubbly for red wine

Romantic dinner? Order a glass of Pinot Noir or other red wine: Women who drank a glass of red daily reported higher levels of sexual desire and vaginal lubrication, compared with those who sipped any kind of alcohol only occasionally or those who didn’t drink at all, according to a study in the “Journal of Sexual Medicine.”

Be a poser

Yoga does more than just get you limber — it may boost your libido, too, suggests a review published in the “Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy.” Getting your om on makes you more familiar with your body, which in turn can help you get more in touch with your sexuality.

Get hands-on

Locking fingers with your sweetie is, well, sweet — but can it make you hot and bothered? Absolutely. “Even little acts of touching your partner release oxytocin, a hormone that may boost closeness and arousal,” Goldstein says.

See (him in) red

Turns out, your man wearing this fiery hue can put you in the mood, suggests a University of Rochester study. “Red is a signal of status and power, and that turns women on,” explains psychology professor Andrew J. Elliot, Ph.D., lead author of the study.

Take a whiff

Chances are, the smell of a sweaty gym does not get you all worked up. But the scent of your man post-workout might do just that. Sniffing his sweat can increase your level of the stress hormone cortisol, which may boost arousal, reports a study in the Journal of Neuroscience.
