So go out and do something that makes your palms sweat. If you’re feeling wild, give skydiving a try. And if you’re feeling tame, you can simply watch a scary movie.  

You can also try making lifestyle changes like adding a workout to your routine. According to the Mayo Clinic, exercise may benefit low sex drive for a number of reasons. Not only can it make you feel better about yourself, but it also can boost mood. 

And Health reports that because exercise improves circulation, it may increase blood flow to the genitals, making a romp in the hay better. Plus, toning your body just may make you want to show it off. 

Bust Stress for a Better Time in Bed

Further, reduce stress, a well-known sex drive killer. Find areas of your life in which you can decrease stress. If driving the kids around all day works you up, talk to other parents about carpooling. Consider sharing meal duties with your spouse to make dinner prep stress-free.  

And don’t talk about stressful things just before or after you get intimate. Keep red-hot topics like money and child care under wraps when the sheets heat up. Make sex about the moment at hand -- not all the stressors outside the bedroom. 

Give meditation a try.  According to Marsha Lucas, Ph.D., mindfulness meditation can actually be good for sex drive. This is a type of meditation focused on the present moment. 

“A key factor in having better sex is actually being there when you’re having it. Being there not just physically -- being fully present, in thought, word and deed,” Lucas tells Mindful.org. “It isn’t about adding props or toys or costumes -- it’s about really showing up and tuning in, to the moment, yourself and your partner.”
