Has your sex life taken a hit amid the Covid pandemic? If your answer is an emphatic yes, you’re certainly not alone - new data indicates that nearly half of us have had been less intimate over the last 18 months.
The tricky thing is that while it’s hard to think about sex when you’re feeling rubbish, having sex does tend to make us feel better. You can thank all those stress-reducing hormones released by orgasms for that.
So, how do we get back on the proverbial horse and get riding again? Almara Abgarian, a sexpert and journalist who put together LELO’s report, shares some top tips…‘Regardless if you’re in a relationship, dating, or single, the most important thing is to take it slow while also encouraging yourself to step out of your comfort zone,’ says Almara.
‘What this can look like is individual to your needs; perhaps it’s downloading a dating app and taking a few swipes, striking up a conversation with a stranger or adjusting your mindset. ‘We often make the mistake of only considering what our head is telling us but take cues from your body too; it’s an excellent indicator for what feels right or doesn’t – like when you get a flutter in your stomach when meeting someone you like or when our muscles tense up as we take a step that feels a bit too much, too soon.A problem shared is a problem halved, and just talking about your sex life can go a long way in making you feel less alone in finding things tough right now.
‘In the past 18 months, one in ten Brits have used sex toys more, which is encouraging news when you consider the many benefits from masturbation, such as reduced stress, improved sleep, and orgasms,’ says Almara.Take time to play Don’t get down on yourself if your sex drive doesn’t awaken at the drop of a hat.
