Fun Facts About The Female Libido
The female sex drive can be pretty complex and hard to understand. So here are 8 fun facts about the female libido that might makes things a little more clear.
Alcohol may actually help
Even though it is a depressant, alcohol can help eliminate that anxiety. Two shots can really light a fire.
Pregnancy boosts feminine libido
That’s because of all of the hormones that are rushing through the body!
Sexual peaks comes later in women than in men
For men, it actually peaks around 18 and for women at 32. Big difference, huh? It differs slightly from person to person, but that’s about the average.
Certain pills may affect female libido
Antidepressants mostly. They have a tendency to depress sex-drive. There’s an open discussion around oral contraceptives; are they a boost or an obstacle for sex drive in women?
Higher levels of testosterone means higher libido levels
Of course men have a higher amount of testosterone in their bodies, but women have it to. It decreases after the peak age, so older women are less likely to want sex than older men.
Libido increases on ovulation days
A high amount of estrogen combined with a lot of testosterone makes women to want to have a lot of sex.
There is no such thing as aphrodisiac food
It hasn’t been proven yet that any food boosts feminine or masculine libido, so you can stop eating beets if you hate them.
But a balanced diet totally helps
Antioxidants and health foods such as salmon, strawberries, blueberries, asparagus and beans totally help.
