Not in the mood for sex? Then you are really not the only sweetheart…

From a survey by WomenTALK shows that 'we' women see sex as our duty. Most of the time we don't feel like sex and we don't enjoy it! This survey was conducted on more than 1000 women over the age of 18…. ai.

Don't feel like sex, is that weird?

More than 50% (of women) consider having sex as healthy. And we're talking about a few times a week. However, only 30 percent of them achieve this. A small two-thirds have sex only once a week and find this more than enough. But is this healthy for your body, or for your relationship? You can read more about no sex drive below.

Sex for your health

According to Elizabeth Battaglino Cahill of HealthyWomen Is a good sex life really important for your health and your relationship? It not only creates an intimate bond with your partner, but also reduces your feeling of stress, trains your pelvic muscles, and improves your immune system † And let's not forget that you also burn calories with it .

It is also striking that women who have a good relationship with their husbands do not feel sexually satisfied. 60 percent see sex mainly as a way to improve this bond and only 42 percent say they are satisfied with their sex life.

A girl has got to do, what a girl has got to do!

Yet women continue to have sex even if they don't feel like having sex. But not from a health conviction, or from a personal need. No… according to Naomi Greenblatt, a psychiatrist specializing in women and their health, this mainly comes from a sense of duty. Sex is increasingly seen as a mandatory number and no longer done for gratification. It is no longer seen as something pleasant or nice. The combination of motherhood and a job also plays a role. A day only has 24 hours and making love is no longer a priority. Not feeling like sex is not so strange if you have a family with young children!

According to Greenblatt, women should not forget that a lot of sex makes them look much younger. `Having sex four times a week can make you look ten years younger. Sex is the source of youth. `Wow! If you do want to feel like sex again, you can read this blog with advice. In addition, nice sex toys or, for example, an anus dildo sometimes also improve the sex drive. Try something out, everyone enjoys it in a different way.

What can sex do for you?

As a result of the above research, a few facts at a glance:

  • Sex is healthy
  • Having sex makes you young
  • Sex is nice (usually then)
  • Sex strengthens the bond with your partner

Nothing new under the sun if you ask me. But where is the problem then? Is that the fact that you 'have to' so much in one day, and that your energy level has dropped drastically in the evening? Is that because "the crush" is over and there are no more jitters? Or maybe it also changes a bit as you get older?

Quite honestly (and now I'm giving away some of 'myself', with all the risks that entails 🙂 ), I can imagine something. When I see myself now… and I look at the image I have of myself when I was 20 years younger…. then I have changed. I do indeed have stronger responsibilities, my life is different, so that I also set different priorities. I have children (really energy guzzlers, haha) and I have my own business. And yes… I am also 20 years older.

But what is the difference between man and woman? Does the man always feel like it, and does he not see it as a duty to please his partner?

Would you like to share how you are doing? I think it's worth a discussion.

ps…. I am no longer such a fanatic runner as I was in the summer… but that doesn't matter at all, I just found out… you can work on your body in many ways! You just need to 'grow' some sense.
