Despite this, you find yourself lying in bed more and more often at night wondering why you feel little or no sexual urge. Such lows can occur at any time and can have a variety of causes. It happens to many people. For some, the problems accumulated over years until the desire for sex dropped to a minimum. For others, it happened virtually overnight. However it happened to you, it's easier to change this than you might think at the moment. There is a lot you can do. Movement is crucial for a positive change. An active lifestyle is the ideal prerequisite for a happy love life.<\/p>\n<h2>Causes of loss of libido<\/h2>\n<p>Most of the causes are psychological. In addition, certain medications and drugs have an influence on libido. Some physical complaints can also be the cause. You can counteract many of these causes with strength training. The most common causes of sexual aversion are listed below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Marital and\/or relationship problems<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Depression<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Sexual fears and feelings of guilt<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">sexual trauma<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">certain diseases<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Drugs (nicotine, stimulants, alcohol)<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Medication to lower blood pressure<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Antihistamines<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Medication for the treatment of depression and anxiety<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">endocrine disorders<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Hormonal fluctuations (decrease in oestrogen (women) or testosterone (men))<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Tiredness<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Stress and other anxieties<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Lack of sexual arousal or sexual pleasure<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">Pain during sexual intercourse<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">sexual problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Five ways to increase libido through strength training<\/h2>\n<p>Several factors directly or indirectly influence your love life. If they occurred individually, you could balance out the effect. Most of the time, several of them appear simultaneously and in combined form, which can have a devastating effect on your libido. Fortunately, with strength training, you can eliminate many of these influences and revitalize your sex life. First, here are five reasons why strength training can boost your libido:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1- Strength athletes take care of themselves<\/strong><br \/>\nThe more you take care of yourself, the more intensely you will want to sort out every little thing that stands in the way of your goals and get rid of it. For example, if fatigue, anxiety or hormonal changes are part of your everyday life, as a strength athlete you will be much more likely to look for solutions and most likely not wait for the problems to go away on their own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2- Strength training boosts your self-esteem<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you look good, you feel good. The better you feel, the more you want to have sex. Strength training increases your self-esteem, which is crucial for your libido. What's more, there's nothing that will attract your partner more than confidence in yourself and the resulting serenity. You'll both have much more fun doing things together in and out of bed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3- Weight training massively reduces the desire for alcohol, nicotine and drugs<\/strong><br \/>\nStrength athletes usually abstain completely from the consumption of alcoholic beverages, nicotine-containing cigarettes and drugs of any kind. They do not allow themselves to be manipulated by these \"nasty three\" and ultimately restrict their sexual desire. On the other hand, they do not stop taking any antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication prescribed by their doctor because they are aware of the dangers of untreated depression with regard to libido and many other important bodily functions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4- Strength athletes are active<\/strong><br \/>\nPhysical activity improves sexual health. Bodybuilders exercise regularly. They know it makes them feel better and look more attractive. A more beautiful body brightens your mood, while your positive emotions make you look even more attractive in the mirror. One helps the other.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5- Strength athletes have an \"I can do it\" attitude.<\/strong><br \/>\nA positive attitude can move mountains. If you face an obstacle as a strength athlete, you approach this challenge in the same way as a tough training session and solve the problem.<\/p>\n<h2> What you can actively do<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Lighten the mood:<\/strong><br \/>\nCertain scents - such as cinnamon - are said to be natural aphrodisiacs. Light a cinnamon candle to help improve your mood.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Go to the doctor:<\/strong><br \/>\nIf your loss of libido lasts longer, you should see a doctor. They can prescribe medication to increase your sex drive or to treat erectile dysfunction or impotence.<\/p>\n<h2> Three secrets to a happy sex life<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1- Healthy diet<\/strong><br \/>\nDon't just look after your body when doing weight training. For example, a healthy diet can have a positive impact on your libido and potency. Plenty of protein, vegetables, good fats and healthy carbohydrates combined with physical exercise will improve your cardiovascular system. With this diet, your body will release valuable endorphins in addition to a small amount of cortisol and increase the level of testosterone in your blood. This in turn leads to an increase in your libido.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2- Love yourself and your body<\/strong><br \/>\nFeel free, respect yourself and love your body, including your private parts. The more independent you are, the better your libido will be. Don't worry about what your partner thinks about your figure. You're in training now. Everything has its time. Love for yourself starts with the details. Tidy up your home so that you can feel more comfortable and put personal hygiene at the top of your list of priorities. Treat yourself to something good regularly. Give yourself gifts. Open up to your partner emotionally. This liberates you and reduces inhibitions. People who feel comfortable in their own skin not only feel like having sex much more often. They also have much more intense orgasms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3- First you, then the pleasure<\/strong><br \/>\nDon't focus on orgasms. This creates negative pressure that can significantly damage your libido. First comes the soul and then the urge. Have a good time with your wife or husband. Afterwards, there's still enough room for casual pleasures.<\/p>\n<div class=\"woocommerce columns-4\"><div class=\"products row row-small large-columns-4 medium-columns-3 small-columns-2 has-equal-box-heights equalize-box\">\n<div class=\"product-small col has-hover out-of-stock product type-product post-4998 status-publish first outofstock product_cat-food product_cat-snack product_cat-snacks has-post-thumbnail taxable shipping-taxable purchasable product-type-simple\">\n\t<div class=\"col-inner\">\n\t\n<div class=\"badge-container absolute left top z-1\">\n\n<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"product-small box\">\n\t\t<div class=\"box-image\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image-fade_in_back\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fitnfemale.com\/en\/product-3\/chocogasm\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"247\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/fitnfemale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Chocogasm-Tablet-247x296.jpg\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" alt=\"Chocogasm Protein Chocolate\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"247\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/fitnfemale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/chocogasm-inf6-247x296.jpg\" class=\"show-on-hover absolute fill hide-for-small back-image\" alt=\"Alternative view of Chocogasm Protein Chocolate\" aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image-tools is-small top right show-on-hover\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image-tools is-small hide-for-small bottom left show-on-hover\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image-tools grid-tools text-center hide-for-small bottom hover-slide-in show-on-hover\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"out-of-stock-label\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-trp-gettext=\"\">Sold Out <i class=\"fa fa-heart\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-text box-text-products text-center grid-style-2\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"title-wrapper\"><p class=\"name product-title woocommerce-loop-product__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnfemale.com\/en\/product-3\/chocogasm\/\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\">Chocogasm Protein Chocolate<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"price-wrapper\">\n\t<span class=\"price\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">\u20ac<\/span>\u00a05.40<\/bdi><\/span> <small class=\"woocommerce-price-suffix\">incl.
