With the arrival of autumn, sexual desire decreases, psychological and physiological factors put pressure on libido.
Publika.az psychologist Stanislav Sambursky said these words in an interview with Lenta.ru.
He attributed this to the fact that in autumn, activity traditionally decreases, hopelessness sets in, and even depression sets in, which reduces the desire for intimacy. With the onset of cold weather, the expert identified three factors that discourage both women and men from sexual intercourse.
Firstly, it is affected by seasonal lack of light. According to Sambursky, in autumn, the days are shorter, which does not affect the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates the biorhythm. Melatonin suppresses the production of serotonin, the hormone of happiness and pleasure. Serotonin, in turn, stimulates the production of testosterone, which is responsible for sexual desire. Thus, a chain relationship appears: less light, less testosterone and lower libido.
Second, the weakening of immunity prevents the increase of libido. The doctor noted that the number of colds traditionally begins to increase in autumn, which weakens the immune system and reduces energy. In addition to general discomfort, prescribed medications can have the effect of reducing libido. For example, antidepressants, antibiotics, contraceptives, etc.
thirdly, Stanislav Samburski advised not to neglect fatigue and stress. In the fall, people find themselves in a hectic work cycle after returning from a relaxed routine or vacation. Endless pressures at work are inevitable, and the period of stress also coincides with children going back to school. After the vacation, children need to strengthen control to restore the discipline skills they lost during the summer, and there is no time to relax at home, and at the same time, children have problems with studying. As a result, parents experience constant stress, fatigue and anxiety.
But how to return sex life to normal in autumn?
“Increase your intake of vitamins and micronutrients. B vitamins, vitamin D3 in particular, as well as magnesium, calcium and iron are beneficial. They will help strengthen your immune system and ultimately have a positive effect on your energy and mood. Exercise 3 times a week. Any physical activity promotes the production of endorphins – hormones of joy and pleasure. And finally, allow yourself to relax a little. Turn off your cell phone and go to a meeting with your husband or wife in a comfortable place, “said Stanislav Sambursky, clinical psychologist, author of the Zen channel “Environmental Psychologist” in his statement .
