5 reasons why you DON’T want to have sex anymore

1/6

These could be one of the reasons

Are you or you partner running away from sex? If it is not because of attraction issues then there could be these 5 reasons why you do not want to have sex. Do not take them lightly because they do have a negative impact without you even realising it.

2/6

Too much phone usage

In today’s time, we are on the phone all the time. It makes us so hooked to it that with every notification or ping sound, we want to see who has sent what. We get so busy with it and it can be so engaging that you do not find the time to have something like sex either. The best way is to cut it out after a certain time.

3/6

Letting stress rule you

There will always be some or the other kind of stress in your life but to prioritise it over sex is a major mistake. You need to learn the art of balancing your life. It takes time but it is very much possible. Don’t fall apart, keep calm and give sex importance because it is an integral part of your relationship.

4/6

Zero workout

No exercise is equivalent to lethargy, bad mood and stress. How? Exercising boosts our mood, it helps in increasing your blood flow and releases feel good hormones as well. It also helps us in keeping fit so you can perform better in bed too.

5/6

Having huge expectations

The kissing, foreplay, the unreal sex scenes and orgasms can have a major influence on your sex life. The moment you blur the lines and presume that sex is what you see on screen, you are making a major mistake. The unrealistic expectations can turn you off easily. Follow the feelings and sensations instead.

6/6

Depression

If you are in depression, mentally and emotionally sad, then this could be a major reason why you are avoiding sex. Depression affects your self esteem, causes physical fatigue and lowers your libido as well. It can also cause Anorgasmia, a state when you have trouble reaching an orgasm.
