Sex is a natural, involuntary drive in most humans, so we usually don’t think we have to do anything about it. There’s a stimulus – a thought, a visual, or even a scent (the ones we can’t detect, like pheromones, and the ones we can, like perfume) – and then poof, here comes the horny.
But if you’re looking for ways to ensure that you’re doing all you can to improve or maintain your sex life, consider your general health and well-being.
Reducing stress, eating a balanced diet, exercising and avoiding smoking and substance abuse is the sound advice we’re all familiar with. But according to an article on CNN.com, there are particular things you might want to address with your doctor if you have any concerns regarding the following:
- Mental health issues
- Sleep concerns such as insomnia, inadequate rest, apnea
- Hormonal imbalances, such as low testosterone
- Side effects of some medications
- Chronic illness
- Physical limitations
You might wonder how any of this is related to a satisfying sex life. Urologist Dr. Jamin Brahmbhatt says that “sexual health is a vital part of your overall well-being. Chronic stress, poor diet, lack of exercise and other lifestyle factors can significantly affect your sexual health”.
Feeling well and enjoying a good quality of life is tantamount to confidence, and confidence is a quality that attracts others. It therefore makes sense that the healthier you are, the sexier you’ll feel, the better your sexual performance, and the more you’ll enjoy it when you’re having it.
Seeking healthcare, guidance and treatment options is a sign of strength, so don’t put off any concerns you might have. Preventative and/or early intervention can go a long way toward living well. And since sexual health is as important as all the other systems in your body, take good care of it!
