Asexuality or loss of sexual desire is a common sexual health problem in people of all genders. It may be the result of stress, fatigue, erectile dysfunction, or vaginal dryness. However, this condition can be relieved by eating foods that increase sexual desire, along with other health care methods that may have a positive effect on sexual health, such as getting enough sleep and exercising regularly.
Foods that increase sexual arousal
Foods that may help stimulate sexual arousal and increase sexual performance include:
- Oysters
Oysters are rich in zinc, a mineral that is important for male sexual performance and fertility. A deficiency in zinc can affect testosterone levels and sperm quality. A study published in the Journal of Reproduction & Infertility in 2018 examined the importance of zinc as an important nutrient for male fertility. It found that having adequate zinc in seminal plasma is beneficial for sperm health, growth, เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา fertility, and function. However, excessive zinc in seminal plasma can also result in poor sperm quality.
How to boost your mood and enhance your sexual performance
The following methods may help boost mood and enhance sexual performance, allowing you to have pleasurable, effective sexual activity and possibly reach climax more easily.
· Get enough sleep
Sleep, in addition to helping the body recover from fatigue or physical and mental health conditions such as stress and anxiety, may also have a positive effect on sexual arousal. A study published in The World Journal of Men’s Health in August 2018 studied the relationship between sleep, sleep disorders, and sexual dysfunction. It was found that sleep disorders such as insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy (constant sleepiness), and nocturnal frequent urination may reduce sexual arousal or lead to sexual dysfunction.
Therefore, to prevent such problems, you should get enough sleep. For example, teenagers (aged 13-18) should sleep 8-10 hours/day, and adults (aged 18 and over) should sleep 7 hours or more/day.
· Manage stress
Accumulated stress, both physical stress and especially mental stress from work, relationship problems, etc., can have negative effects on health in many ways, including sexual health and sexual arousal. A study published in the Journal of Family Psychology in June 2010 examined the relationship between stress in daily life and sexual health problems. It found that stress can reduce sexual desire or sexual arousal, and may also affect sexual performance.
If you feel stressed, you should relieve stress with relaxing activities or activities you like, such as taking a nap, watching a movie, or listening to music, to prevent stress from building up and affecting your sexual health.
· Exercise regularly
Exercising regularly for at least 30 minutes a day or 150 minutes a week by walking, cycling, swimming or aerobics can make the body stronger, reduce stress and may improve sexual performance and stimulate sexual arousal. A study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine in November 2009 examined the relationship between yoga practice and sexual performance in women. Forty women (aged 22-50 years) did yoga for 12 weeks using 22 yoga poses that were believed to strengthen the abdominal muscles, pelvic muscles, digestive system, joints and improve mood. The results showed that yoga practice improved sexual performance such as sexual desire, sexual arousal, orgasm, lubrication, pain, and overall sexual satisfaction.
However, every time you have sex, you should consider hygiene, cleanliness, and safety by wearing a condom and cleaning your body, especially your genitals, before and after sexual activity to prevent sexually transmitted diseases or health problems that may occur.
