How to Jump-Start Your Sex Life

The University of Chicago’s National Health and Social Life Survey found that more than one-third of women voiced concerns with their sex lives. Problems ranged from lack of arousal to low sexual desire.

There are remedies, but it’s important to realize that women are different from men when it comes to sexual satisfaction. A women’s emotional connection to her partner plays a larger role in arousal and satisfaction. Men are turned on more by “visual cues.”
In a Kinsey Institute survey, women ranked their “overall sense of well-being” as the top requirement for satisfying sex. The stress of balancing a career and family and having to juggle a hectic schedule can make sex seem like something else on a women’s “to do” list.

Experts suggest talking about your sexual problems as a couple; your emotional bonds will be strengthened. Exercise and relaxation will relieve stress. Sex therapy might help. Anger and resentment can interfere with satisfying sex; therapy will improve communication. Some physical conditions on women reproduction (vaginal or urinary tract infections and endometriosis) present obstacles to good sex. See your doctor and ask about testosterone therapy or estratest, an oral medication that combines estrogen and testosterone. Doctors can prescribe it for a sluggish libido.
