Does it feel like you’re just never in the mood for sex? If your partner is doing all the right things yet it still doesn’t spark that fire, you might need to take a step back and look at your lifestyle choices.
Whether you can’t get through a morning without your cup of coffee, or you’ve been having one too many cheat days, we all have vices we just can’t go without…but you’d be surprised at how much they can affect your sex life.
Ahead, you’ll find habits that may be holding you back from a better sex life.
Caffeine
Your sex life can depend on how you handle caffeine on a regular basis. If coffee makes you jittery, it may spike your anxiety in the bedroom, which can affect how much you’re enjoying sex. It can also make it harder for you to get an orgasm!
Alcohol
If you’re trying to get pregnant, you should lay off the extra cocktails at happy hour. Alcohol can make it harder for women to get pregnant when consumed in larger amounts. Men also tend to suffer from impotence when they’ve had too much to drink (which isn’t fun for anyone).
Smoking
If you needed another reason to quit smoking, here it is. We’ve heard it time and time again that smoking can cause a bevy of health issues, but it can also hurt your sexual performance. Cigarettes can lower your libido and make sex become mundane or uninteresting.
Unhealthy Food
Having a diet that consists more of burgers and fries than kale salads, doesn’t just affect your waistline, but also your sex life. Poor eating habits can negatively affect your testosterone levels. A lower testosterone level can leave you tired, in a bad mood, and with a low sex drive.
